Study Notes
Precipitation
- Precipitation reactions form relatively insoluble substances or precipitates
- Reactions must go to completion to be considered quantitative
Determination of End Point
- End point is marked by the cessation of precipitation or the appearance of turbidity
- Internal indicators are used to detect the end point
- Instrumental methods, such as Potentiometric or Amperometric, are also used to determine the end point
Indicators for Volumetric Precipitation
- Ferric ammonium sulphate indicator appears as a red color
- Potassium chromate indicator forms a red precipitate
- Adsorption indicators, such as Dichloroflurescein (DCF), Eosin Y, and Tetrabromophenolphthal ein ethyl ester, are used
Complexation
- Complexation is a quantitative analysis method for inorganic products containing metal ions, such as Al, Bi, Ca, Mg, and Zn
- Originally performed using gravimetric methods, but now uses EDTA for volumetric method
- Metal ion indicators are used, similar to pH indicators in acid-base titrations
Key Terms
- Complex: a molecule where a metal ion combines with a molecule that can donate electrons
- Chelate: a molecule with two or more groups that donate electrons
- EDTA: reacts with metal ions to form water-soluble stable complexes or chelates
Redox
- Oxidation: losing electrons, and the reactant is a reducing agent
- Reduction: gaining electrons, and the reactant is an oxidizing agent
- Electrons are transferred from one reactant to another in oxidation/reduction reactions
