23
Q

is a process in which a
precipitate is heated in the solution
from which it was formed (the mother
liquor) and allowed to stand in contact
with the solution.

24
Q

is the solution from
which a precipitate was formed.

A

Mother liquor

25
is a process in which normally soluble compounds are carried out of solution by a precipitate.
Coprecipitation
26
four types of coprecipitation:
surface adsorption, mixed-crystal formation, occlusion, and mechanical entrapment
27
From the four coprecipitation, which are product of equilibrium processes, and kinetics of crystal growth.
Surface adsorption and mixed-crystal formation are equilibrium processes, and occlusion and mechanical entrapment arise from the kinetics of crystal growth.
28
is often the major source of contamination in coagulated colloids but of no significance in crystalline precipitates.
Surface adsorption
29
The purity of many coagulated colloids is improved by .
digestion
30
is defined as the surface area per unit mass of solid and usually has the units of square centimeters per gram.
Specific surface area
31
For a given mass of solid, the specific surface area increases dramatically as particle size _______, and it becomes enormous for colloids
decreases
32
A drastic but effective way to minimize the effects of adsorption
Reprecipitation
33
is a type of coprecipitation in which a contaminant ion replaces an ion in the lattice of a crystal.
Mixed-crystal formation
34
is a type of coprecipitation in which a compound is trapped within a pocket formed during rapid crystal growth.
Occlusion
35
Mixed-crystal formation may occur in both
colloidal and crystalline precipitates
36
occurs when crystals lie close together during growth. Several crystals grow together and in so doing trap a portion of the solution in a tiny pocket.
Mechanical entrapment
37
occlusion and mechanical entrapment are confined to
crystalline precipitates.
38
is a process in which a precipitate is formed by slow generation of a precipitating reagent homogeneously throughout a solution.
Homogeneous precipitation
39
After precipitation, the precipitate is usually _____ to remove excess solvent
oven dry
40
Some precipitates are also ignited to decompose the solid and form a compound of known composition. This new compound is often called the .
weighing form
41
Organic reagents that yield sparingly soluble coordination compounds typically contain at least two functional groups. Each of these groups is capable of bonding with a cation by donating a pair of electrons. The functional groups are located in the molecule such that a five- or six-membered ring results from the reaction.
chelating agents
42
Some organic reagent can precipitate slightly soluble nonionic products called
coordination compounds
43
are cyclical metal-organic compounds in which the metal is a part of one or more five- or six-membered rings.
Chelates
44
are relatively nonpolar and, as a consequence, have solubility that are low in water but high in organic liquids.
chelates
45
Name some chelating or precipitating agent
8-Hydroxyquinoline (oxine) Dimethylglyoxime Sodium Tetraphenylborate
46
is an organic precipitating agent that produce precipitate that are so bulky
Dimethylglyoxime
47
is an important example of an organic precipitating reagent that forms salt-like precipitates.
