question

A silicious rock contains the mineral ZnS. To analyze for Zn, a sample of the rock is pulverized and treated with HCl to dissolve the ZnS (silicious matter is insoluable). Zinc is precipitated from solution by the addition of potassium ferrocyanide K_4 Fe (CN)_6. After filtering, the precipitate is dried and weighed. The reactions which occur are ZnS + 2HCl \rightarrow ZnCl_2 + H_2 S 2ZnCl_2 + K_4 Fe (CN)_6 \rightarrow Zn_2 Fe (CN)_6 + 4 KCl If a 2 gram sample of rock yields 0.969 gram of Zn_2Fe(CN)_6, what is the percentage of Zn in the sample? Atomic weight Zn = 65.4, molecular weight Zn_2 Fe (CN)_6 = 342.6.
