You want to analyze a silver nitrate solution. (a) You could add $\mathrm{HCl}(a q)$ to the solution to precipitate out AgCl(s). What volume of a 0.150 $\mathrm{M} \mathrm{HCl}(a q)$ solution is needed to precipitate the silver ions from 15.0 $\mathrm{mL}$ of a 0.200 $\mathrm{MgNO}_{3}$ solution?
(b) You could add solid $\mathrm{KCl}$ to the solution to precipitate out AgCl(s). What mass of KCl is needed to precipitate the silver ions from 15.0 $\mathrm{mL}$ of 0.200 $\mathrm{M} \mathrm{AgNO}_{3}$ solution? (c) Given that a 0.150 $\mathrm{M} \mathrm{HCl}(a q)$ solution costs $\$ 39.95$ for 500 $\mathrm{mL}$ and that $\mathrm{KCl}$ costs $\$ 10 / \mathrm{ton},$ which analysis procedure is more cost-effective?
