    This document discusses several examples of gravimetric analysis and redox titration calculations: 1) A sample of zinc sulfate hydrate was heated and the mass of water lost was used to calculate the number of moles of water in the original sample. 2) Calcium content in limestone was determined by precipitating calcium as calcium oxalate, then calculating the percentage of calcium based on the mass of precipitate. 3) The identity of a halide ion in a hydrated barium salt was determined through a barium sulfate precipitation titration. 4) Iron content in an iron ore was calculated through a permanganate titration of Fe2+ ions from the ore.

    TUTORIAL # 3: GRAVIMETRIC ANALYSIS AND REDOX TITRATION

    CALCULATIONS

    1. A 13.2 g of a sample of zinc sulphate, ZnSO4 ∙ xH2 O, was strongly heated until

    no further change in mass was recorded. On heating, all the water of

    crystallization evaporated as follows:

    ZnSO4 ∙ xH2 O → ZnSO4 + xH2 O

    Calculate the number of moles of water of crystallization in the zinc sulphate

    sample given that 7.4 g of solid remained after strong heating.

    2. A 2.00 g sample of limestone was dissolved in hydrochloric acid and all the

    calcium present in the sample was converted to Ca2+(aq). Excess ammonium

    oxalate solution, (NH4)2C2O4(aq), was added to the solution to precipitate the

    calcium ions as calcium oxalate, CaC2O4(s). The precipitate was filtered, dried

    and weighed to a constant mass of 2.43 g. Determine the percentage by mass

    of calcium in the limestone sample.

    3. A certain barium halide exists as the hydrated salt BaX2 ∙2H2 O. where X is the

    halogen. The barium content of the salt can be determined by gravimetric

    methods. A sample of the halide (0.2650 g) was dissolved in water (200 mL) and

    excess sulfuric acid added. The mixture was then heated and held at boiling for
    45 minutes. The precipitate (barium sulfate, mw = 233.3) was filtered off, washed

    and dried. Mass of precipitate obtained = 0.2533 g. Determine the identity of X.

    4. The iron content of iron ore can be determined by titration with a standard

    KMnO4 solution. The iron ore is dissolved in HCl and all the iron is reduced to

    Fe2+ ions. This solution is then titrated with KMNO4 solution producing Fe3+ and

    Mn2+ ions in acidic solution. If it required 38.37 mL of 0.0198 M KMO4 to titrate

    a solution made from 0.6128 g of iron ore, what is the mass percent of iron in

    the iron ore.

    5 Fe2+(aq) + MnO4- (aq) + 8 H+(aq) → 5 Fe3+(aq)) + Mn2+(aq) + 4 H2O

    5. The quantity of antimony in a sample can be determined by an oxidation-

    reduction titration with an oxidizing agent. A 9.62 g sample of stibnite, an ore of

    antimony, is dissolved in hot, concentrated HCl(aq) and passed over a reducing

    agent so that all the antimony is in the form Sb3+. The Sb3+(aq) is completely

    oxidized by 43.70 mL of a 0.1250 M solution of KBrO3. Calculate the amount of

    antimony in the sample and its percentage in the ore.

    6H+(aq) + BrO3¯(aq) + 3Sb3+(aq) → Br¯(aq) + 3Sb5+(aq) + 3H2O(l)

    Research for yourself:

    6. Give examples of industrial applications of titrimetric analysis, gravimetric

    analysis, distillation and chromatography.
