19
Q

What are standard solutions employed in the official assays by precipitation methods?

A

0.1 N Silver Nitrate
0.1 N Ammonium Thiocyanate

20
Q

any titration that uses silver Nitrate as standard is termed as?

A

Argentometry

21
Q

in the standardization of silver Nitrate what is the use of acetic acid?

A

It is used to sharpen the endpoint

22
Q

It provides a Shar endpoint in acidic media (the color change is sharpest in an acetic acid solution)

A

Eosin Y

23
Q

What happens the Eosin Y reacts first with silver?

A

Premature determination of the endpoint

24
Q

In standardization of silver Nitrate why is methanol added?

A

to prevent competition of Eosin Y and nacl

25
Q

in standardization of silver nitrate, it is used in the assay to help keep the precipitated silver chloride in a colloidal state and thus give sharpness to the color change which occurs on the precipitate surface

A

Alcohol

26
Q

What is the color of the precipitate of Eosin Y with Silver

A

Magenta

27
Q

Rules on the use of adsorption indicator

A

The precipitate should separate as far as possible in the solution.
The indicator ion must have an opposite charge to the ion of the precipitating agent
The indicator ion should not be adsorbed before the particular compound has been completely precipitated

28
Q

Based on the cessation of precipitation
