Some General Concepts

1. The results of a gravimetric analysis are generally computed from two experimental
measurements: the mass of sample and the mass of a product of known composition
2. Size of particles influenced by relative supersaturation of the solutions in which is formed:

3. Gravimetric Calculations

4. Gravimetric Factor (F); F – Relates mass of product to mass of analyte, stoichiometry

Where a and b are coefficients of A and B respectively

Questions from Gravimetry

1. Write an equation showing how the mass of the substance sought can be converted to the mass of the
weighed substance on the right.

2. Treatment of a 0.2500-g sample of impure potassium with an excess of AgNO3 resulted in the
formation of 0.2912 g of AgCl. Calculate the percentage of KCl in the sample.

3. What mass of Cu(IO3)2 can be formed from 0.650 g of CuSO4 · 5H2O?


4. A 0.8102-g sample of impure Al2(CO3)3 decomposed with HCl; the liberated CO2 was collected on
calcium oxide and found to weigh 0.0515 g. Calculate the percentage of aluminum in the sample

5. A 0.2121-g sample of an organic compound was burned in a stream of oxygen, and the CO2 produced
was collected in a solution of barium hydroxide. Calculate the percentage of carbon in the sample if
0.6006 g of BaCO3 was formed.

6. Ammoniacal nitrogen can be determined by treatment of the sample with chloroplatinic acid; the
product is slightly soluble ammonium chloroplatinate

The precipitate decomposes on ignition, yielding metallic platinum and gaseous products

Calculate the percentage of ammonia in a sample if 0.2115 g gave rise to 0.4693 g of platinum

7. A series of sulfate samples is to be analyzed by precipitation as BaSO 4. If it is known that the sulfate
content in these samples ranges between 20% and 55%, what minimum sample mass should be taken to
ensure that a precipitate mass no smaller than 0.200 g is produced? What is the maximum precipitate
mass to be expected if this quantity of sample is taken?

8. What mass in grams of CO2 is evolved in the complete decomposition of a 2.300-g sample that is
38.0% MgCO3 and 42.0% K2CO3 by mass

9. One approach for determining phosphate, PO 43-, is to precipitate it as ammonium phosphomolybdate,


(NH4)3PO412MoO3. After isolating the precipitate by filtration, it is dissolved in acid and the molybdate
precipitated and weighed as PbMoO3. Suppose we know that our samples contain at least 12.5%
Na3PO4 and we need to recover a minimum of 0.600 g of PbMoO 3? What is the minimum amount of
sample needed for each analysis?

10. Calculate the % Phosphorus in a 0.3516 g detergent sample. Final yield is 0.2161 g Mg 2P2O4 (222.57
g)
