In this activity you will be “given” a 100.0 mL sample of contaminated water containing metal ions (NiCl2). You will precipitate out the metal ion chosen using an excess of concentrated solution of the chosen ‘reactant solution’ (Na2CO3).
Using the yield of precipitate from the measurements in the video (0.41g) , you will be able to determine the concentration of your assigned metal ion in the water sample.

Gusing the milligrams of ascorbic acid you entered above, the ratio of total sample volume to aliquot volume, and the total milligrams of the vitamin c tablet that you dissolved, calculate the mass of ascorbic acid in the vitamin c tablet for each trial. do this by scaling up to find the amount (mg) of ascorbic acid in your 250 ml flask. enter your calculated mass of ascorbic acid in the vitamin c tablet, for each trial. be sure to enter your calculated mass in the corresponding order that you entered your milligrams of ascorbic acid. the milligrams of ascorbic acid you entered for entry #1 previously should correspond to the mass of ascorbic acid that you enter for entry #1 here.
