Rubies are essentially alumina (Al2O3) with a contaminant of chromium in the form of Cr2O3. A lab-made ruby weighing 1.994g is ground, digested in hot nitric acid, and the chromium prcipitated as Cr(OH)3(s). If the mass of the Cr(OH)3 is 0.0135 g, compute the percentage of chromium in the ruby. Also compute the percentage of Cr2O3 in the ruby.
