Q3/A 0.80868 gm sample of a commercial phosphate detergent was ignited at a red heat to destroy the organic matter the residue was then taken up in hot HCl, which converted the P to H3PO4. The phosphate was precipitated as MgNH.PO4.6H₂O by addition of Mg¹2 followed by aqueous NH3. after being filtered and washed. The precipitate was converted to Mg₂P₂0 (222.57gm mol) by ignition at 1000 Cº this residue weighed represent 61.5% of the total sample mass. Calculate the percent P(30.974gm mol),0 (16 gm/mol) and Mg (24.3 gm/mol) in the sample.

Question
Q3/ A 0.80868 gm sample of a commercial phosphate
detergent was ignited at a red heat to destroy the organic
matter the residue was then taken up in hot HCl, which
converted the P to H3PO4. The phosphate was
precipitated as MgNH₂PO4.6H₂O by addition of Mg¹2
followed by aqueous NH3 after being filtered and
washed. The precipitate was converted to
Mg₂P₂O(222.57gm mol) by ignition at 1000 C this
residue weighed represent 61.5% of the total sample
mass. Calculate the percent P(30.974gm mol),O (16
gm/mol) and Mg (24.3 gm/mol) in the sample.
