A sample containing NaCl, NaBr, and inert materials weighs 1.000 g. With excess AgNO3 it gives a precipitate of AgCl and AgBr, which weighs 0.5260 g. By heating this precipitate in a current of Cl2 gas, the AgBr is converted to AgCl and the resulting precipitate then weighs 0.4260 g. What is the %NaCl and %NaBr present in the original sample?
