A carbonate fusion ws needed to free the Bi from a 0.6423g sample containing the mineral eulytite (2Bi2O3.3SiO2). The fused mass was dissolved in dilute acid, following which the Bi+3 was titrated with 23.76mL of 0.03369M NaH2PO4. The reaction is Bi+3+ H2PO4- ---> BiPO4(s) + 2H+ Calculate the % purity of eulytite (1112g/mol) in the sample. I just do not even know where to begin. I not only need to see steps, but I need good explanation of why the steps were taken. Thanks!

Bi+3+ H2PO4- ---> BiPO4(s) + 2H+

Calculate the % purity of eulytite (1112g/mol) in the sample.

I just do not even know where to begin. I not only need to see steps, but I need good explanation of why the steps were taken. Thanks!
