GRAVIMETRIC DISCUSSION Lecture-24 PDF

This document provides instructions and examples for performing gravimetric analysis. It discusses calculating the gravimetric factor and the percentage of analyte in a sample based on the precipitate formed. It includes sample problems calculating the percentage of various analytes like K, Ca, Fe, and an unknown halide based on the precipitates of Ag3PO4, CaC2O4, Fe2O3, and AgCl respectively. Practice problems are provided for students to calculate percentages from experimental precipitate masses.

The Gravimeteric Factor
• Don’t let this term bug you it is something you
already know just never defined before.

• It is just a convenience equation of analytical

So imagine we want to know how much Cl2 was in a sample that was
converted to AgCl precipitate and the dried precipitate weighed 1.00
g AgCl. How much Cl2 was there and what is the GF?

Gravimetric Calculation
A 0.4500 g sample of impure potassium chloride was
dissolved in water and treated with an excess of silver nitrate.
A 0.8402 g of silver chloride was massed after digesting,
collecting, washing and drying the precipitate. Calculate the
percentage KCl in the original sample. (9712)
Gravimetric Calculation
The calcium in a 200.0-mL sample of a natural water was determined
by precipitating the cation as CaC2O4. The precipitate was filtered,
washed and ignited in a crucible with an empty mass of 26.6002 g.
The mass of the crucible plus CaO (molar mass = 56.077g/mol) was
26.7134 g. Calculate the concentration of Ca (molar mass = 40.078 g/
mol) in the water in units of grams per 100 mL.

Worked Example
! A 0.7406 g sample of impure MgCO3 was decomposed with
HCl, releasing 0.1881 g of carbon dioxide. Calculate the %
Mg in the original sample. Remember that CO3
! How much CaO (in grams) can be produced from 1.500 g of
calcium carbonate?
Gravimetric Calcuation
An iron ore was analyzed by dissolving a 1.1324-g sample in
concentrated HCl. The resulting solution was diluted with water,
and the iron(III) was precipitated as the hydrous oxide Fe2O3•xH2O
by the addition of NH3. After filtration and washing, the residue
was ignited at a high temperature to give 0.5394 g of pure Fe2O3
(molar mass =159.69 g/mol). Calculate (a) the %Fe (molar mass =
55.847 g/mol) and (b) the % Fe3O4 (231.54 g/mol) in the sample.
Worked Example
A 0.2356 g sample containing only NaCl (fwt 58.44
g/mol) and BaCl2 (fwt 208.23 g/mol) yielded 0.4637
g of dried AgCl (fwt 143.32 g/mol). Calculate the
percent of each halogen compound in the sample.
Worked Example
A certain barium halide exists as the hydrated salt BaX2.2H2O,
where X is an unknown halogen. A sample of the halide hydrate
(0.2650 g) was dissolved in water in 200 cm3 and excess sulfuric
acid added. The mixture was then digested and held at boiling for
45 minutes. The precipitate was filtered off, washed and dried. The
mass of precipitate obtained = 0.2533 g. Determine the identity of
X.
