The percent purity of a pharmaceutical zinc oxide drying agent was analyzed using the backtitration method. A 1.30-g sample was dissolved completely in 150. mL of 0.600 M HCI, which reacts as shown below: ZnO (s) + 2 HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2O(1). The inactive components of the drying agent dissolve in water and do not react with HCI. The acidified mixture was diluted to a final volume of 300. mL. A 20.0 mL aliquot was titrated with NaOH. If 9.83 mL of 0.524 M NaOH was needed to neutralize the excess HCI, what is the mass percentage of Zn in the drying agent? In correct significant figures, the answer is

Question
The percent purity of a pharmaceutical zinc oxide drying agent was analyzed using the backtitration
method. A 1.30-g sample was dissolved completely in 150. mL of 0.600 M HCI, which reacts as shown
below:
ZnO (s) + 2 HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2O(1).
The inactive components of the drying agent dissolve in water and do not react with HCI. The acidified
mixture was diluted to a final volume of 300. mL. A 20.0 mL aliquot was titrated with NaOH. If 9.83 mL of
0.524 M NaOH was needed to neutralize the excess HCI, what is the mass percentage of Zn in the drying
agent?
In correct significant figures, the answer is
