b) Excessive phosphate levels in water systéms may contribute to several environmental problems such as eutrophication. Gravimetric analysis could be performed to determine phosphorus, P (30.9738 g/mol) level in aqueous sample by converting it to P.Or. A 25 g of unknown water sample was acidified, treated with precipitating agent and then heated to P:O; (173.94 g/mol). At the end of experiment, sample recorded 6.09 % P. Determine the amount of P207 (in grams) required to be precipitated to obtain this result

Question
b) Excessive phosphate levels in water systems may contribute to several environmental
problems such as eutrophication. Gravimetric analysis could be performed to determine
phosphorus, P (30.9738 g/mol) level in aqueous sample by converting it to P:O7. A 25 g
of unknown water sample was acidified, treated with precipitating agent and then heated to
P:07 (173.94 g/mol). At the end of experiment, sample recorded 6.09 % P. Determine the
amount of P2O7 (in grams) required to be precipitated to obtain this result

a) Tiffany received a pesticide sample and was asked to analyse its arsenic content. Sample
was precipitated as MGNH4ASO4 (181.25 g/mol) and subsequently heated to form
Mg.As207 (310.45 g/mol). Results shown that a 1.134 g pesticide sample yielded 135.8
mg of Mg:As207. Based on the information provided above, report the gravimetric factor
and % w/w As (74.92 g/mol) in the pesticide sample.
