When 6.881 g of MgCl2 and NaCl mixture is dissolved in 500 mL of distilled water and 50 mL of AgNO3 is precipitated, 0.5923 g of AgCl precipitates are formed. The Mg in the other 50 mL portion is precipitated as MgNH4PO4. Calculate the percentages of MgCl2 and NaCl in the sample as the 0.1796 g Mg2P2O7 is weighed after the precipitate is heated.
