Basic Steps on Precipitation Method

Gravimetric Analysis
Gravimetric Method of Analysis deals
with the measurement of the mass of a
substance that is chemically related to the
analyte.
Sample is dissolved in an appropriate
solvent.
A precipitant is used to convert the analyte
into a sparingly soluble precipitate.
The precipitate is converted into a product of
known composition by a suitable heat
treatment.
The percentage of the analyte in the sample
is calculated using the gravimetric factor (GF)

Bronsted-Lowry Bronsted-Lowry

An extension of the Brnsted definition of

acids and bases is the concept of the
conjugate acid-base pair, which can be
defined as an acid and its conjugate
HCl : Proton Donor (H+) base or a base and its conjugate acid.
H2O: Proton Acceptor

Bronsted-Lowry

The conjugate base of a Brnsted acid is

the species that remains when one proton
Conjugate means has been removed from the acid.
Conversely, a conjugate acid results from

Every Brnsted acid has a conjugate
base, and every Brnsted base has a
conjugate acid. For example, the chloride
ion (Cl- ) is the conjugate base formed
from the acid HCl, and H3O+ (hydronium
ion) is the conjugate acid of the base H2O.

Autoprotolysis of Water Autoprotolysis of Water

In 1 L, or 1000 g, of water, there are 1000 Autoprotolysis of Water

g/(18.02 g/mol), or 55.5 moles, of water.
Therefore, the concentration of water, or
[H2O], is 55.5 mol/L, or 55.5 M. This is a
large quantity compared to the
concentrations of other species in solution
(usually 1 M or smaller), and we can
assume that it does not change
appreciably during the course of a
reaction.

a metal ion). The reverse titration may be
carried out also.

The percentage of MnO2 in a 500 mg
sample which after the addition of 80.00
mL of 0.1056 M FeSO4 solution required
8.50 mL of 0.0867 M K2Cr2O7 is
a. 33.52% b. 35.00%
c. 17.50% d. 67.04%
A sample of iron ore weighing 385.6 mg
was dissolved in acid and passed through
a Jones reductor. If the resulting solution
required 52.36 mL of 0.01436 M K2Cr2O7
for titration, calculate % Fe3O4 (231.55
g/mol) in the ore sample.
a. 15.05% b. 45.15%
c. 90.30% d. 67.98%
A hydrogen peroxide solution is analyzed
by adding a slight excess of standard
KMnO4 solution and back-titrating the
unreacted KMnO4 with standard Fe+2
solution. A 0.587-g sample of the H2O2
solution is taken, 25.0 mL of 0.0215 M
KMnO4 is added, and the back-titration
requires 5.10 mL of 0.112 M Fe2+ solution.
What is the percent H2O2 in the sample?
Ans. 6.13%

A 240-mg sample of pyrolusite was treated
with excess KI. The iodine liberated
required 46.24 mL of 0.1105 M Na2S2O3
solution. Calculate the % MnO2 in the
sample.
a. 46.27% b. 30.85%
c. 92.54% d. 76.12%
A 0.200-g sample of pyrolusite is analyzed for
manganese content as follows. Add 50.0 mL of
a 0.100 M solution of ferrous ammonium sulfate
to reduce the MnO2 to Mn+2. After reduction is
complete, the excess ferrous ion is titrated in
acid solution with 0.0200 M KMnO4, requiring
15.0 mL. Calculate the percent manganese in
the sample as Mn3O4 (only part or none of the
manganese may exist in this form, but we can
make the calculations on the assumption that it
does). Ans. 66.74%
A sample of a pyrolusite weighs 0.5000 g.
To this is added 0.6674 g of As2O3 and
dilute acid. After solvent action has
ceased, the excess three-valent arsenic is
titrated with 45.00 mL of 0.1000 N KMnO4.
Calculate the oxidizing power of the
pyrolusite in terms of percentage MnO2.
Ans. 78.19%
