(d) Estimation of phosphorous: A known mass of compound is heated with fuming `HNO_(3)` or sodium peroxide `(Na_(2)O_(2))` in Carius tube which converts phosphorrous to `H_(3)PO_(4)` . Magnesia mixture `(MgCl_(2) + NH_(4)Cl)` is then added, which gives the precipitate of magnesium ammonium phosphate `(MgNH_(4).PO_(4))` which on heating gives magnesium pyrophosphate `(Mg_(2)P_(2)O_(7))` , which is weighed. 0.124 gm of an organic compound containing phosphorus gave 0.222 gm of `Mg_(2)P_(2)O_(7)` by the usual analysis . Calculate the percentage of phosphorous in the compound (Mg=24, P=31)A. 25B. 75C. 62D. 50 |
