!Answer!:  0.9665 gram.

89.  After oxidizing the arsenic in 0.5000 gram of pure As_{2}S_{3} to arsenic acid, it is precipitated with “magnesia mixture” (MgCl_{2} + 2NH_{4}Cl).  If exactly 12.6 cc. of the mixture are required, how many grams of MgCl_{2} per liter does the solution contain?  H_{3}AsO_{4} + MgCl_{2} + 3NH_{4}Oh = MgNH_{4}AsO_{4} + 2NH_{4}Cl + 3H_{2}O.

!Answer!:  30.71 grams.

90.  A sample is prepared for student analysis by mixing pure apatite (Ca_{3}(Po_{4})_{2}.CaCl_{2}) with an inert material.  If 1 gram of the sample gives 0.4013 gram of Mg_{2}P_{2}O_{7}, how many cubic centimeters of ammonium oxalate solution (containing 40 grams of (NH_{4})_{2}C_{2}O_{4}.H_{2}O per liter) would be required to precipitate the calcium from the same weight of sample?

!Answer!:  25.60 cc.

91.  If 0.6742 gram of a mixture of pure magnesium carbonate and pure calcium carbonate, when treated with an excess of hydrochloric acid, yields 0.3117 gram of carbon dioxide, calculate the percentage of magnesium oxide and of calcium oxide in the sample.

!Answers!:  13.22% MgO; 40.54% CaO. 92.  The calcium in a sample of dolomite weighing 0.9380 gram is precipitated as calcium oxalate and ignited to calcium oxide.  What volume of gas, measured over water at 20 deg.C. and 765 mm. pressure, is given off during ignition, if the resulting oxide weighs 0.2606 gram? (G.M.V. = 22.4 liters; V.P. water at 20 deg.C. = 17.4 mm.)

!Answer!:  227 cc.

93.  A limestone is found to contain 93.05% CaCO_{3}, and 5.16 % MgCO_{3}.  Calculate the weight of CaO obtainable from 3 tons of the limestone, assuming complete conversion to oxide.  What weight of Mg_{2}P_{2}O_{7} could be obtained from a 3-gram sample of the limestone?

!Answers!:  1.565 tons; 0.2044 gram.

94.  A sample of dolomite is analyzed for calcium by precipitating as the oxalate and igniting the precipitate.  The ignited product is assumed to be CaO and the analyst reports 29.50% Ca in the sample.  Owing to insufficient ignition, the product actually contained 8% of its weight of CaCO_{3}.  What is the correct percentage of calcium in the sample, and what is the percentage error?

!Answers!:  28.46%; 3.65% error.

95.  What weight of impure calcite (CaCO_{3}) should be taken for analysis so that the volume in cubic centimeters of Co_{2} obtained by treating with acid, measured dry at 18 deg.C. and 763 mm., shall equal the percentage of CaO in the sample?

!Answer!:  0.2359 gram.

96.  How many cubic centimeters of HNO_{3} (sp. gr. 1.13 containing 21.0% HNO_{3} by weight) are required to dissolve 5 grams of brass, containing 0.61% Pb, 24.39% Zn, and 75% Cu, assuming reduction of the nitric acid to no by each constituent?  What fraction of this volume of acid is used for oxidation?

!Answers!:  55.06 cc.; 25%.
