The mercury in a 1.9458 g sample was precipitated as Hg5(IO6)2 by treatment with an excess of paraperiodic acid, H5IO6: 5 Hg+ (aq) + 2 H5IO6 (aq) à Hg5(IO6)2 (s) + 10H+(aq) After filtration, washing and drying, 0.5218 g of the precipitate was recovered. A.) Calculate the percentage of Hg2Cl2 in this sample. B.) What is the gravimetric factor in the problem?
