9 CONSTRUCT IONIC EQUATION THROUGH CONTIUOUS VARIATION METHOD

 INSOLUBLE SILVER IODIDE SALT IS PREPARED FOR MIXING SILVER NITRATE AND POTASSIUM
IODIDE TOGETHER.

 THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT FOR VOLUME OF SILVER NITRATE SOLUTION IS 5 CM3 TO GET THE
LARGEST AMOUNT OF SILVER IODIDE SALT.

 THE RATIO OF THE TWO REACTANT :

Kl : AgNO 3

1:1

 CONTINUOUS VARIATION METHOD IS USED TO DETERMINE THE IONIC EQUATION FOR THE
FORMATION OF AN INSOLUBLE SALT.

 THE METHOD INVOLVES THE REACTION BETWEEN A FIXED VOLUME OF A SOLUBLE SALT
SOLUTION WITH VARYING VOLUMES OF ANOTHER SOLUBLE SALT SOLUTION.
 THE MOLE RATIO CAN BE DETERMINED FROM THE METHOD.

 THE IONIC EQUATION IS

EXPERIMENT TO CONSTRUCT THE IONIC EQUATION THROUGH THE CONTINUOUS VARIATION

METHOD

 PROBLEM STATEMENT :
HOW CAN THE IONIC EQUATION OF THE REACTION BETWEEN BaCl 2 AND
K2CrO4 BE CONSTRUCTED THROUGH THE CONTINUOUS VARIATION METHOD?

 MATERIAL AND APPARATUS :

 TEST TUBES
 RETORT STANDS
 RULER
 BURRETES
 PROCEDURE :
 PLACE 7 CLEAN LABELLED TEST TUBES OF THE SAME SIZE IN A TEST TUBE RACK.
 ADD 5.00 CM3 OF THE POTASSIUM CHROMATE (VI) SOLUTION INTO EACH OF
THE SEVEN TEST TUBES USING A BURRETE.
 USING ANOTHER BURRETE AD BARIUM CHLORIDE SOLUTION INTO EACH OF
THE TEST TUBES ACCORDIG TO THE VOLUMES SHOWN IN THE TABLE.
 STOPPER AND SHAKE EACH TEST TUBE WELL.ALLOW 300 MINUTES FOR THE
PRECIPITATE TO SETTLE.
 OBSERVE THE COLOUR OF THE SOLUTION AND MEASURE THE HIGH OF
PRECIPITATE IN EACH TEST TUBE.
  RESULTS :

 BARIUM CHROMATE(VI) FORMED IS A YELLOW PRECIPITATE

 THE HEIGHT OF THE PRECIPITATE INCREASES WITH INCREASING VOLUME OF
BARIUM CHLORIDE SOLUTION IN TEST TUBE 1 TO TEST TUBE 5
 BUT THE HEIGHT OF THE PRECIPITATE REMAINS CONSTANT IN TEST TUBE 5 TO
TEST TUBE 7
 5 CM3 OF BARIUM CHLORIDE IS NEEDED TO COMPLETELY REACT WITH 5 CM 3 OF
POTASSIUM CHROMATE(VI)

IONIC EQUATION FOR THE PRECIPITATION OF BARIUM CHROMATE(VI) :

 CONCLUSION:
THE HEIGHT OF BARIUM CHROMATE (VI) INCREASES WITH INCREASING NUMBER
OF MOLES OF BARIUM CHLORIDE UNTIL ALL THE POTASSIUM CHROMATE (VI) HAS REACTED.
