The arsenic in a 2.345g sample of a pesticide was converted to H 3 AsO4 by suitable treatment. The acid was then neutralized, and 60.00 ml of 0.06781M AgNO 3 was added to precipitate the arsenic quantitatively as Ag 3 AsO4. The excess Ag+ in the filtrate and washings from the precipitate was titrated with 15.27 ml of 0.123 M KSCN; the reaction was Ag+ + SCN- → AgSCN(s) Calculate the percentage As 2 O 3 in the sample.
