Question
The arsenic in a 1.208-g sample of a pesticide was converted to H₃AsO₄ by suitable treatment. The acid was then neutralized, and 44.00 mL of 0.05854 M AgNO₃ was added to precipitate the arsenic quantitatively as Ag₃AsO₄. The excess Ag⁺ in the filtrate and in the washings from the precipitate was titrated with 9.69 mL of 0.1000 M KSCN, and the reaction was

\[ \text{Ag}^+ + \text{SCN}^- \rightarrow \text{AgSCN(s)} \]

Find the percentage of As₂O₃ in the sample.

Percentage of As₂O₃ = \(\boxed{\phantom{3%}}\)%
