Gravimetric analysis
Calculations associated with the method are based on stoichiometry. The weight has relationship with the analyte and the material used or actually weight
atoms in a compound. Chemical Formula actual of atoms in a compound Molecular Formula gives connectivity
Stoichiometry of Reaction
A balanced formula gives the ratios, in moles of
PbI2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)
NaI to PbI?
FW Pb(NO3)2 - 3311.2 g/mol, NaI 149.9 g/mol

stoichiometric calculations.
Our stoichiometric factor is most often based on the
Gravimetric Factor, GF
GF = FW of subs.sought FW of subs.weight x a (mol sought) b (mol weighed)
Example
Calculate the weight of barium and the weight of Cl present in 15.0 g BaCl2. Solution GF Ba = 137.30 g/mol x 1 = 0.66 208.20 g/mol 1 Weight of Ba = 15.0 g BaCl2 x 0.66 = _____g Ba
x 2 = 0.34 1
= 0.2660 g
Now, we ready to do the calculations. Formula weight P = 30.97 g/mol, Mg2P2O7 = 222.6 g/mol
GF = FW of P x 2 = 0.2783
FW of Mg2P2O7

Exercise:
1. Zinc is determined by precipitating and weighing as Zn2Fe(CN)6. a) What weigh of zinc is contained in a sample that gives 0.348 g precipitate? b) What weight of precipitate would be formed from 0.500g of zinc?
Ar Zn = 91.224 g/mol, Zn2Fe(CN)6 = 388.40 g/mol
2. An iron ore is analyzed for iron content by dissolving in acid, converting the iron to Fe2+, and then titrating with standard 0.0150 M K2Cr2O7 solution. If 35.6 mL is required to titrate the iron in a 1.68 g ore sample, how much iron is in the sample, expressed as percent Fe2O3?
Properties of precipitates
To obtain good results, we must be able to produce
Colloidal
Size range : 10-6 10-4 mm Tendency to settle : NO Filterability : Difficult or impossible Purity: Not Pure
Crystalline
10-1 10 mm Will settle spontaneously Readily filtered
at least qualitatively, by assuming that the particle size is related to a single property of the sytem called its relatuve supersaturation, RSS where
which are
Coagulation Process where colloid particles lump
together into larger particle. Peptization Process when a coagulated colloid reverts to its dispersed state.
Coagulation of Colloids
Two common approaches for causing a colloid to
coagulate are
Heating Adding an eelctrolyte to the solution.
Addressing Peptization
If trouble to making a coagulate colloid our attempt
is to clean it up.
Washing a colloid to remove excess counter ion or
Aging
can replace an analyte ion in the crystal lattice during precipitation. Similar ions have the same charge and sizes within 5% of the ion. How to deal No easy solution to minimize the problem. Try to remove the interference or select a different reagent.
3. Occlusion
If crystal growth is too rapid,
4. Entrapment
When rapid growth traps a
some counter ion dont have time to escape from the surface
pocket of a solution. While the solvent can be removed, the trapped ions will remain after drying.
