To determine the fluoride content in an aqueous and chloride-containing preparation of ammonium fluoride, the following analysis was performed. 105.2 mg of the preparation was dissolved in 100.0 mL of water. Then a 300 mL 40 mM lead chloride solution was added, whereby all fluoride ions were precipitated out of the solution in the form of the sparingly soluble salt PbClF (s). The precipitate was separated and washed at 15 degrees with a lead fluoride chloride saturated solution and dried at 130 degrees. The precipitate weighed 651.3 mg. a) Calculate the fluoride content (as % by weight F) in the preparation. b) Determine the purity of the ammonium fluoride preparation
