Expert Solution

KCl   +   AgNO3 ---------------------->   AgCl + KNO3

74.55g                                               143.3 g

??                                                      0.2852 g

KCl needed = 74.55 x 0.2852 / 143.3

                    = 0.1484 g

% KCl   = mass of KCl x 100 / sample mass

              = 0.1484 x 100 / 0.2496

            = 59.44 %

percentage of KCl in the sample = 59.44 %
