The active ingredient in a zinc nutritional supplement is ZnSO4.7H₂0 (molar mass=287.58 g/mol). Ten zinc nutritional supplement tablets containing a mix of the active ingredient and inactive filler were ground and mixed together thoroughly. The total mass of these 10 tablets was 10.980 g. A 2.414 g sample of the finely ground tablets was dissolved in an acidic solution. The solution was neutralized with ammonia and subsequently warmed in a water bath. Addition of (NH4)3PO4 to the solution resulted in the precipitation of ZnNH4PO4. The precipitate was filtered and dried, then ignited to produce 0.154 g of Zn2P207 (molar mass 304.76 g/mol).
