Gravimetry Analysis Part-4: Solution based Problems and MCQ with Answers
SOLUTIONS PROBLEM IN GRAVIMETRY :-
- Process carried out in dilute solution.
- Reagents mixed slowly with constant stirring.
- Ppt carried in hot solution if stability permits
- Advantage of heating :- solubility is increases, reduction in degree of supersaturation, coagulation occur
- Crystalline ppt digested as long as possible.
- Ppt should be washed with dilute solution of electrolytes.
- If contamination high re- dissolve in appropriate solvent and then re ppt for purity.
Digestion of precipitation :- Digestion is a process keeping the precipitation within the mother liquor for a certain period of time to encourage densification of nuclei.
During digestion, small particle dissolve in larger one grow
This process help produce larger crystal that are more easily filtered from solution.
IMPURITIES IN PRECIPITATION :-
Co- precipitation :– The simultaneous precipitation of more than one compound from a solution.
Inclusion :- it is crystallographic defect.
Example :- In NaCl crystsl Na is replaced by k produced kcl.
If positive error occur due to inclusion so weight of ppt is increase.
If negative error occur due to inclusion so weight of ppt is decrease.
Occlusion :– occur when foreign ions get trapped in growing crystal
Mechanical Entrapment :- small amount of solution is entrapped.
Both occlusion and Entrapment are at minimum when the rate of ppt is low.
Surface adsorption :- Impurities are adsorption on the surface of ppt.
Post precipitation :- It is the precipitation that occur as a layer upon the already formed precipitate.
Post precipitation always give positive error.
