6. You are given a 5.00-gram sample that contains a mixture of only two compounds, manganese(II) chloride and potassium chloride. You dissolve the sample in enough water to make exactly 100.0 mL of solution. To the solution you made, you add an excess of calcium metal. After removing the excess, unreacted calcium, it was found that 0.873 grams of metallic product remains. What is the percent by weight of manganese(II) chloride in the original 5-g sample?
