    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
