Gravimetric Analysis Flashcards
the analyte is separated from a
solution of the sample as a
precipitate and is converted to a
compound of known composition
that can be weighed.
Precipitation gravimetry
the analyte is separated from
other constituents of a sample by
conversion to a gas The weight of
this gas then serves as a measure
of the analyte concentration
Volatilization gravimetry
In volatization gravimetry, the sample is converted to what?
Gas
What serves as a measure of the analyte concentration in volatization gravimetry?
Weight of escaped gas
the analyte is separated by deposition on an
electrode by an electrical current
Electrogravimetry
an electric conductor that makes contact with the nonmetallic circuit parts of a circuit, such as an electrolyte, semiconductor, or vacuum
Electrode
Method of thermal analysis in which changes in
physical and chemical properties of materials are measured as a function of increasing temperature or as a function of time.
Thermogravimetry
refers to process in solution with excess amount of solute
Supersaturation
a substance that causes the precipitation of a specified substance.
Precipitant
Whose tiny particles are invisible to the
naked eye (10-7 to 10-4 cm in diameter)
Colloidal particle
Particles visible to the naked eye
Crytalline solid
Which particle settles down spontaneously
Crystalline solid
Known as the Oswald Ripening
Digestion of precipitate
involves dissolution of small particles
and reprecipitation on larger ones resulting in
particle growth and better precipitate
characteristics.
Digestion
process by which a coagulated colloid reverts to
its original dispersed state in case of colloidal
precipitates
Peptization
In this, the precipitate is
converted to a more chemically stable form
Drying and ignition
The ideal precipitating reagent would react
__________ or at least ___________
Specifically, selectively
Which type of precipitate is ideal?
Crystalline
T or F: ideal precipitate are of sufficiently low solubilty
True (so it doesnt dissolve and it can be filtered)
an unstable solution that contains a higher solute concentration than a saturated solution.
Supersaturated solution
In relation to Ksp and Qsp, when can precipitation happen
Ksp > Qsp
Relation of precipitation and supersaturation
Inversely proportional (kapag mataas ang supersaturation ibig sabihin marami ang solute. these solute can be formed into precipitate and when they do, bumababa ang saturation. gets???)
a process of forming smaller particles or colloidal particles.
Nucleation
