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 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 percent NaI in the original sample mixture.

Calculate the percent NaI in the original sample mixture.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Mass percent is also known as weight percent, it is an expression of concentration of a solution or amount of substance present in a given volume.
The equation for mass percent is,
Mass percent of A= Mass of soluteMass of solution×100
