A 25.00mL wastewater sample was analyzed for its Mg2+ content using a standard gravimetric method. the sample was diluted to 3.00L and an 11.00mL aliquot was treated to precipitate magnesium as MgNH4PO4.6H2O using (NH4)2HPO4 as the precipitating agent. the precipitate was then filtered, washed, dried, and ignited resulting in a 0.1325mg Mg2P2O7 residue. How much Mg (in ppm) is present in the original sample
