You are asked to determine the percentage of the components of a mixture containing sodium iodide, NaI, magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2, and barium sulfate, BaSO4. The total mass of your mixture sample is 4.82g. First you extracted the NaI from the mixture with water and filtered insoluble Mg(OH)2and BaSO4 from the solution, containing the NaI. After evaporating and drying the filtrate, you find that you have recovered 0.95g of NaI. When you react the insoluble residue of Mg(OH)2 and BaSO4 with 3M HCl, the Mg(OH)2 dissolves. After decanting the supernatant liquid containing aqueous MgCl2 from the insoluble BaSO4 and drying the so

After decanting the supernatant liquid containing aqueous MgCl2 from the insoluble BaSO4 and drying the solid, you recover 2.04g of BaSO4. Finally you add 3M KOH solution to the aqueous solution to precipitate the Mg(OH)2. After filtering thesolution and drying the precipitate, you recovered 1.21g of Mg(OH)2.
Calculate the total percent recovery based on the combined masses that were recovered.
Given that a mixture of sodium iodide, NaI, magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2, and barium sulfate, BaSO4.
The total mass of mixture = 4.82 g
Recovered mass of NaI w1 = 0.95 g
Recovered mass of Mg(OH)2 w2 = 1.21 g
Recovered mass of BaSO4 w3 = 2.04 g
