A 1.219-g containing (NH4)2SO4, NH4NO3, and nonreactive substances was diluted to 200 mL in a volumetric flask. A 50.00-mL aliquot was made basic with strong alkali, and the liberated NH3 was distilled into 30.00-mL of 0.08421 M HCl. The excess HCl required 10.17 mL of 0.08802 M NaOH. A 25-mL aliquot of the sample was made alkaline after the addition of Devarda’s alloy, and the NO3- was reduced to NH3. The NH3 from both the NH4+ and NO3- was then distilled into 30.00 mL of the standard acid and back titrated with 14.16 mL of base. Calculate the percentage of (NH4)2SO4 and NH4NO3 in the sample
