(F) Gravimetric method of analysis Flashcards
Based on measuring the mass of a pure compound though which the analyte is chemically related.
Gravimetric Analysis
analyte is separated from solution of sample as a precipitate converted to a compound of known composition that can be weighed.
Precipitation Gravimetry
analyte is separated from other constituents by conversion to gas, and the weight of the gas is used as a measure of analyte concentration
for substances thar evaporate or are volatile
volatilization gravimetry
analyte is separated by deposition on an electrode via electrical current
Electrogravimetry
changes in physical and chemical properties of materials are measured as a function of increasing temperature or as a function of time
Thermogravimetry
T of F : You’re supposed to wash colloidal precipitates like crystalline precipitates
F you do NOT wash them because peptization occurs
The conversion of precipitate into colloidal solution by adding a suitable electrolyte
peptization
T or F : it is not ideal to have low solubility in a precipitate
false it is ideal so that your precipitate won’t dissolve as you are filtering it
T or F : it is ideal that your precipitate is free of contaminants and be bigger in size
T
T or F : The more reactive your precipitate is the better
False it is better if it is stable and unreactive with the constituents of the atmosphere
The net effect of these variables that determine the particle size can be accounted for relating the particle size to a single property
relative supersaturation by von weimarn, 1925
unstable solution that contains a higher solute concentration than a
saturated solution. As excess solute precipitates with
time, supersaturation decreases to zero.
supersaturated solution
T or F : if Ksp > Qsp = precipitation will not happen
F it will
T or F : If supersaturation decreases to zero, precipitation
will also stop.
T
measure of the solute’s
supersaturation.
Q - S
Q= concentration of the solute
Idk what the S is i cant find it sorry
T or F: The relationship between the value of RSS and the
particle size is DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL. As the
value of RSS increases, the particle size decreases, and
vice versa.
F (inversely)
process of forming smaller particles or colloidal
particles.
NUCLEATION.
T or F: The RSS value is BIG . A solution must have a low
supersaturation which would mean that the precipitate will be larger in terms of the particles.
F (its smol like my brein)
The initial formation process in which
a minimum number of atoms, ions, or molecules join
together to give a stable solid.
NUCLEATION
2 types of nucleation
sponataneous and induced
The subsequent growth after
nucleation. It means building of nuclei over each other
which will eventually form a crystalline solid.
PARTICLE GROWTH:
are precipitants that creates complex
ions.
(Complexing
agents
happen when you add
an organic precipitant in the solution and
creates complexes with the metallic ion.
