An antihistamine sample, brompheniramine maleate, weighing 5.01234 g was dissolved in alcohol and decomposed with metallic sodium. The resulting solution was treated with 12.00mL of 0.3121M AgNO3 to precipitate all of the liberated bromide ions as AgBr. The excess AgNO3 remaining in the solution was titrated with 9.123mL of 0.2181M KSCN to reach the endpoint. What is the %Br in the sample? Br- + Ag+ --> AgBr(s) Ag+ + SCN- --> AgSCN(

Question

An antihistamine sample, brompheniramine maleate, weighing 5.01234 g was dissolved in alcohol and decomposed with metallic sodium. The resulting solution was treated with 12.00mL of 0.3121M AgNO3 to precipitate all of the liberated bromide ions as AgBr. The excess AgNO3 remaining in the solution was titrated with 9.123mL of 0.2181M KSCN to reach the endpoint. What is the %Br in the sample?

Br- + Ag+ --> AgBr(s)

Ag+ + SCN- --> AgSCN(s)

Br = 79.904 g/mol
