Study Notes
Precipitation Titremetry
- Precipitation titremetry is based on reactions that form ionic compounds with limited solubility.
Precipitating Reagents
- Only a few precipitating agents can be used in titrimetry due to the slow rate of formation of most precipitates.
- Silver nitrate is the most widely used and important precipitating reagent.
Applications of Silver Nitrate
- Silver nitrate is used for the determination of: • Halides • Halide-like anions (SCN-, CN-, CNO-) • Mercaptans • Fatty acids • Several divalent and trivalent inorganic anions
Precipitation titremetry is a method based on reactions that yield ionic compounds of limited solubility. It is used for the determination of various ions and compounds, including halides, halide-like anions, and fatty acids.
