Chapter 8 Gravimetric Methods Flashcards
coprecipitation
adsorption, occlusion or inclusion of impurities along with the desired analyte in a precipitate
adsorption
binding of impurities to the surface of a crystal
absorption
inclusions or occlusion of impurities within a crystal
digestion
letting a precipitate stand with the mother liquor to promote slow recrystallization
peptization
breaking up of a precipitate upon washing with water in the absence of an electrolyte
ionic strength
sum of product of concentration of different types of ions and electric charges in the solution
solubility
maximum amount of solute dissolved in a liter of solution
common ion effect
solubility of a partially soluble salt that decreases by the addition of a soluble salt that has an ion in common
Solubility of an ionic compound increase as ionic strength of solution
increases
ionic strength of solution increases when salt is
added to the solution, solubility of ionic compound also increases
increase in ionic strength will ___ ionic atmosphere around individual ion
increasing, shields from other ions and decreases the tendency for ions to bind together
gravimetry
QUANTITATIVE method based on the mass measurement of a pure compound chemically related to ANALYTE
crystalline suspension
0.1mm or bigger, easy to filter
colloidal suspensions
10^-7 -10^-4
difficult to filter
size of particles depends on
1) precipitate SOLUBILITY
2) Temperature
3) Reactants concentrations
4) Mixing rate of reactants
