A 0.8612-g sample of a mixture of sodium bromide, sodium iodide, and sodium nitrate is analyzed by adding silver nitrate and precipitating a 1.0186-g mixture of silver bromide and silver iodide. The precipitate is then heated in a stream of chlorine gas, which converts it to 0.7125 g of silver chloride. Calculate the %w/w nitrate in the sample.
