A 0.6447 g portion of manganese dioxide was added to an acidic solution in which 1.

1402 g of a chloride
containing sample was dissolved. Cl2 was evolved according to the following reaction:
MnO2(s) + 2Cl- +4H+ → Mn2+ +Cl2(g) + 2 H2O
After the reaction was complete, the excess MnO2 was collected by filtration, washed and then was back
titrated against a standard (0.1000M) ammonium oxalate solution, the volume required to reach the end
point was 24.4 ml
MnO2(s) + C2O42- +4H+ → Mn2+ + 2CO2+ 2 H2O
Express the amount of chloride in the chloride-containing sample in terms of % by mass of AlCl3.
