ANACHEM QUIZ (MODULE 10) Flashcards
are quantitative methods that are based on determining the mass of a pure compound to which the analyte is chemically related.
gravimetry
most common type of gravimetric method is
precipitation method
gravimetry includes any analytical method in which the ultimate measurement is by
weight
the simplest form to determine its volatile or non volatile components
drying or heating
solution reaction between analytes and
reagents to give sparingly soluble products
principles of gravimetry
filtration,
drying or ignition of precipitates
principles of gravimetry
electrolytic deposition
of metals; weighing
principles of gravimetry
flasks, beakers, filter funnels, pipettes,
filter crucibles, filter papers, oven, muffle furnace, chemical balance, desiccator
apparatus
apparatus used for drying
desiccator
requires careful and time consuming procedures with scrupulously clean
apparatus and very accurate weighing.
disadvantages
provides exceedingly precise and
accurate analysis.
advantages
example of advantages
inexpensive, determine atomic mass, little room for instrumental error
7 steps of gravimetric analysis
preparation of the sample
precipitation
digestion
washing
drying
weighing
calculation
types of gravimetric analysis
precipitation gravimetry
volatilization gravimetry
electro gravimetry
thermogravimetry
the analyte is
converted to a sparingly soluble precipitate
precipitation gravimetry
which are rare, react only with a single chemical species
specific reagents
