STOICHIOMETRY AND PERCENT PURITY
Many samples of chemicals are not pure
...
Conversely, the percent purity of an
impure sample of a chemical of unknown percent purity can be determined by reaction with a pure
compound as in an acid-base titration
...
This latter approach, however, assumes
a 100% yield of the product
