Gravimetric Analysis report
SynopsisThe objective is to determine the amount of Sulphate in anhydrous Barium Sulphate precipitate by gravimetric method. Gravimetric method is by the quantitative determination of the mass of anhydrous Barium Sulphate precipitate. Barium sulphate precipitate is form when Barium Chloride is added excessively to a hot given Sulphate solution slightly acidified with concentrated Hydrochloride acid. The white precipitate of hydrate Barium Sulphate formed is than digest, filtered out, washed and dried than cool down in a desiccator. Anhydrous Barium Sulphate is formed and weight using analytical balance. We will find that the mass of Barium Sulphate precipitate form is 0.1990g and with the knowledge of its chemical composition, we can calculate the amount of Sulphate. From these, we found that amount of Sulphate is 0.0820g. And the major experimental finding is that gravimetric analysis is one of the most accurate and precise methods of macro-quantitative analysis as we can calculate till high figure accuracy.

ObjectiveThe purpose of this experiment by gravimetric method is to determine the amount of Sulphate in a solution. In addition, to learn to carry out vacuum filtration of Barium Sulphate precipitate and use a desiccator correctly.

TheoryThe amount of Sulphate is determined quantitatively from Barium Sulphate by gravimetric method.

This determination consists of slowly adding, with vigorous stirring a dilute solution of barium chloride to a hot solution of the Sodium Sulphate which is slightly acidified with concentrated hydrochloride acid for the removal of impurities and preventing carbon dioxide in the air from reacting to barium to form barium carbonate precipitate. Dilute and hot solutions with slowly adding and effective stirring are done to decrease the degree of contamination of impurities.

Barium Sulphate precipitate form is allowed to digest which can help to reduce the amount of co precipitation. Co precipitation may result in excess mass hence,

    Sodium Chloride and Ml Density

    Summary of Procedures: There are three sections of this experiment for section A, a regularly shaped object was obtained and the volume and mass was calculated to find the density of the regularly shaped object. In the second part of section A, sample of metal pellets were obtain and asked to find the density of the pallets. The metal pellets were weighed to calculate the mass. Using the graduated cylinder, 50mL were approximately added to the graduated cylinder. The pellets were then added into the graduated cylinder and to get the volume of the pellets by subtracting the volume of the water and the pellets by the volume of just the water itself. For the 2nd part of this experiment part B a 25 mL cylinder was used the empty cylinder was weighed on the electronic beam balance then 23.0 mL’s of distilled water was added and weighed again to calculate the mass of the water as well as the density was calculated.

    Analysis of Silver in an Alloy

    In this experiment an alloy of silver will be analyzed to determine its silver content. The silver-copper alloy will be dissolved in nitric acid, the silver will be precipitated as silver chloride, and the silver chloride will be filtered, washed, dried and its mass determined. From the mass of the silver chloride formed and the mass of the original sample, you will be able to calculate the percent of silver in the alloy. Because the results are based on the mass of a product, this procedure is classified as a gravimetric analysis.…

    Investigating Stoichiometry with Sodium Salts of Carbonic Acid

    First the student will take the weight of a clean dry beaker and record the data. Next ass .15g of the first unknown substance. From there, the student will add 50ml of water to the beaker then dissolve the .15g of the first unknown substance into the water. Once the substance has dissolved, the student will add 10 drops of bromocresol (indicator) into the beaker. After the student will fill the buret all the way up with HCl. Once that is done, begin titration. The HCl should be added into the beaker until the indicator turns green. After it turns green the student will then place it on a hot plate and heat it till the CO2 evaporates and it turns blue again. After that let it cool. Once the substance is cooled. The student will then titrate once more till it turns yellow. The yellow color indicates that the substance has stabilized. Once the substance is fully titrated, the student will place the beaker back on to the hot plate and let all of the water evaporate out of the beaker till there is only the salt (unknown substance) left. Lastly, the student will then measure the weight of the beaker with the salt in it and record the data. Once the data has been obtained the student will subtract the weight of the beaker from the weight of the salt. That calculation will then be used to find the…

    The Gravity Journal Analysis

    An astounding read, the Gravity Journal was a tear-jerking novel about the mental battle fought by, young Anise. A 16 year old girl who views herself as fat and ugly, although she is skin and bones, and she also self-mutilates when her depression becomes overwhelming. She comes from a rich but very dysfunctional family; she never calls her parents by any name except "Loathed" for her mother and "Witless" for her father, and they seem to fit the nicknames perfectly. Her mother, interested only in her possessions and her own life, shows little concern for Anise's struggle, insisting that she stop the melodrama and take responsibility for the way she acts. "WE'RE not the ones with the problems," she tells the hospital therapist, in an off-hand…
