The digestion of a 0.1159 gram sample of a phosphorous-containing compound in a mixture of HNO3 and H2SO4 resulted in the formation of CO2, H2O, and H3PO4. Addition of ammonium molybdate yielded a solid having the composition (NH4)3PO4·12MoO3 (FW = 1876.3). This precipitate was filtered, washed, and dissolved in 50.00 mL of 0.2000 M NaOH: (NH4)3PO4•12MoO3(s)+26OH-(aq)->HPO42-(aq)+12MoO42-(aq)+14H2O(l)+3NH3(g) After the solution was boiled to remove the NH3, the excess NaOH was back-titrated with 14.84 mL of 0.1626 M HCl to a phenolphthalein end point. Calculate the percent phosphorous (FW = 30.9737) in the sample.

Question

The digestion of a 0.1159 gram sample of a phosphorous-containing compound in a mixture of HNO3 and H2SO4 resulted in the formation of CO2, H2O, and H3PO4. Addition of ammonium molybdate yielded a solid having the composition (NH4)3PO4·12MoO3 (FW = 1876.3). This precipitate was filtered, washed, and dissolved in 50.00 mL of 0.2000 M NaOH:

(NH4)3PO4•12MoO3(s)+26OH-(aq)->HPO42-(aq)+12MoO42-(aq)+14H2O(l)+3NH3(g)

After the solution was boiled to remove the NH3, the excess NaOH was back-titrated with 14.84 mL of 0.1626 M HCl to a phenolphthalein end point. Calculate the percent phosphorous (FW = 30.9737) in the sample.
