A chemistry student needs to determine the composition of a sample that contains an unknown mixture of sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium chloride (KCl). The student weighs 2.00 g of the mixture and dissolves it in water to obtain a solution. The student then precipitates the chloride ions from the solution with excess silver nitrate (AgNO3) to obtain 6.50 g of silver chloride (AgCl). Using mass balance calculations, determine the mass and percentage composition of the sodium chloride and potassium chloride in the mixture.
