Introduction
Titrimetric analysis is a part of chemical analysis
based on the measurement of the volume of a
solution of known concentration required to react
with the desired constituent.
The chemical reactions that may serve as the basis
for titrimetric determinations are conviniently
grouped into 4 types, as follows:
Neutralization titration
Reductometry and Oxidimetry
Precipitimetry
Complexometry

Introduction
Precipitimetry is a part of titrimetric
analysis based on precipitation of chloride,
iodide, bromide, and thiocyanate with the
standard solution of silver nitrate (AgNO 3)
Argentometric is divided into 3 method as
follows:
Mohr method
Volhard method
Fayans method

Basic Principle
Neutral chloride ion is titrated by silver
nitrate and yields silver chloride
precipitate. Potassium chromate is
added as the indicator in this titration.
It will form a red precipitate of silver
chromate. All of the chloride ion will be
precipitated before the chromate ion.
Because it's solubility product is lower
than chromate ion's

Reaction
AgNO3 + NaCl AgCl + NaNO3
2AgNO3 + K2CrO4 Ag2CrO4
2KNO3

Chemicals and Equipments

Table salt
AgNO3 0.0506 N
K2CrO4 5%
Analytical balance
Erlenmeyer flask
Volumetric flask
Volumetric pipette
Burette
Beaker glass

Procedures
Weigh 0.8 g of table salt and
dissolve it in the volumetric flask 100
ml, dilute it and then homogenize it.
Dispense 10 ml of the sample
solution into the erlenmeyer flask
using the volumetric pipette, and add
2 ml of K2CrO4 5%.
Titrate the solution with AgNO3 0.05N
until it forms a red precipitate

Observation Data
Sample weight = 800.3 mg
Volume of titrant = 26.33 ml
The colour of solution before adding
the indicator = none
The colour of solution after adding
the indicator = yellow
The colour of precipitate at the end
point = brownish red

Calculation

Conclusion and Suggesttion

From the calculation result, we can
conclude that the percentage of sodium
chloride (NaCl) in table salt is 97.39 %.
This kind of analysis method can be used
for determining other constituent such as,
chloride, bromide, iodide or thiocyanate.
And for the table salt itself, can be
determined using spectrophotometery or
gravimetric method.

THANK YOU
FOR
YOUR ATTENTION

 First of all Id like to thank to God for

his blessing so we can gather here
And also my thanks to our very very
very handsome teacher and the
audiences for giving us the chance to
present our discussion result
So lets begin.
