To determine the purity of a synthetic preparation of methylethyl ketone, C4H8O, it was reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, liberating HCl (reaction: NH2OH.HCl + C4H8O -> C4H9NO + H20 + HCl). In a typical analysis a 3.00-mL sample was diluted to 50.00 mL and treated with an excess of hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The liberated HCl was titrated with 1.2149 M NaOH, requiring 35 mL to reach the end point. A. Write the acid base reaction involved in the titration. B. Report the percent purity of the sample given that the density of methylethyl ketone is 0.805 g/mL.
