Short Answer

Expert verified

The measures to be taken to decrease the relative supersaturation during a precipitation

  1. Slow addition
  2. Homogenous solution
  3. Dilute reagents
  4. Increased temperature

Step by step solution

01

Definition

It is an analytical technique that uses a precipitation reaction to separate ions from a solution. The chemical that is added to cause the precipitation is called the precipitant or precipitating agent

02

Measures to be taken to decrease the Supersaturation

1. Slow addition of precipitating agent and mixing during addition

2. Precipitate forms homogenous solution โ€“ precipitating agent in this case is synthesized in the solution and isnโ€™t added mechanically.

3. Precipitating using dilute reagents

4. Increased temperature โ€“ solubility is increased.

LaCoO3+x, has a perovskite structure (Box 19-1) with variable oxygen content. The figure shows the thermogravimetric curve observed when 41.8724m gwere heated in role="math" localid="1665035505591" 5vol%H2inAr.La(II)does not react, but cobalt is reduced to Co(s)

(a) What is the oxidation state of cobalt in the ideal formula LaCoO3

(b) Write the reaction of role="math" localid="1665035588740" LaCoO3withH2 to produce La2O3with(s),Co(s),andH2O(s)

(c) If 41.8724mgofLaCoO3 react completely, what will be the mass of product(La2O3+(Co)?

(d) Write the balanced reaction of role="math" localid="1665035782894" LaCoO3+xwithH2O to produce La2O3,Co,andH2O.If41.8724mgofLaCoO3+1react completely; what will be the mass of solid product? Your answer will be an expression with x in it.

(e) From the observed product mass (37.767mg)at700ยฐc, find x inLaCoO3+x Write the formula of the starting solid.

(f) In part (c), the mass lost from the ideal formula LaCoO3+x, is 4.0877 mg. What is the product nearrole="math" localid="1665035980286" 500ยฐCwhere the mass is -40.51 mg?

Statistics of coprecipitation. 17In Experiment 1,200.0mL of solution containing 10.0mg of SO42-(from Na2SO4) were treated with excess Bacl2 solution to precipitate BaSO4 containing some coprecipitated Cl-. To find out how much coprecipitated was present, the precipitate was dissolved in 35mL of 98wt%H2SO4 and boiled to liberate , which was removed by bubbling gas through the H2SO4. The HCI/N2 stream was passed into a reagent solution that reacted with to give a color that was measured. Ten replicate trials gave values of 7.8,9.8,7.8,7.8,7.8,7.8,13,7,12.7,13.7, and 12.7. Experiment 2 was identical to the first one, except that the mL solution also contained of from ). Ten replicate trials gave 7.8,10,8,8.8,7.8,6.9, 8.8, 15.7 , 12.7 , 13.7and 14.7ฮผmolCl-.

(a) Find the mean, standard deviation, and 95% confidence interval for Cl-in each experiment.

(b) Is there a significant difference between the two experiments? What does your answer mean?

(c) If there were no coprecipitate, what mass of BaSO4(FM 233.39) would be expected?

(d) If the coprecipitate is (FM 208.23), what is the average mass of precipitate(BaSO4+BaCl2)in Experiment 1. By what percentage is the mass greater than the mass in part (c)?

Consider a mixture of the two solids,

BaCl22H2O(FM244.26)andKCI(FM74.551), in an unknown ratio. (The notation BaCl22H2O means that a crystal is formed with two water molecules for each BaCl2) When the unknown is heated to 160ยฐC for 1h, the water of crystallization is driven off:

BaCl22H2O(s)โ†’160ยฐBaCI(s)+2H2O(g)

A sample originally weighing 1.7839 g weighed 1.5623 g after heating. Calculate the weight percent Ba,K and Cl ofin the original sample.

Why are many ionic precipitates washed with electrolyte solution instead of pure water?

A 1.000-g sample of unknown gave 2.500 g of bis (dimethylglyoximate)nickel (II) (FM 288.91) when analyzed by Reaction 27-7. Find the weight percent of Ni in the unknown.
