Chemistry project
Preparation of poster paints
2022-202

ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I would like to acknowledge my gratitude to all those who
helped me out to put these ideas into something concrete.
I thank the principal Mr. Thakur Mulchandani and the
vice principal and the CBSE board for empowering me to
this project.
I would like to express my special thanks of gratitude to
my Teacher Mrs. Lijimol Varkey and the lab assistant
who gave me the golden opportunity to do this wonderful
chemistry project- poster paints, which improved my
innovative skills.
I would have never been able to satisfactory complete this
project without the support and guidance of my parents.

Theory
Pigment:-
 A pigment is a finely divided material which
contributes to optical and other properties of
paints. Pigments maybe be classifies according to
their composition or source which they are
obtained from however the most common and
useful classification is that color pigments can be
made using simple chemical reactions and
techniques

Poster paints
Grinding a pigment or a mixture to a very fine
powdered and then suspending the powder in a
very fine liquid makes poster paint so as to uniform
suspension. For making poster paints are the
pigments made by various chemical reactions are
thoroughly mixed with the medium. Sometimes the
paints hardens but the addition of lukewarm water
top it can soften it

Medium
Medium used for making paints is by mixing 30ml
of clear glue with 10 ml of water and adding a
drop of liquid detergent to it
Chrome yellow
 Chrome yellow

Chemically known as lead chromate (PbCrO4) the

yellow pigment is obtained as follows

Procedure
1) dissolve 7gm of potassium chromate in 50 ml
water and 10gm lead nitrate in 100ml water in
two separate beakers
2) pour the potassium chromate solution in the lead
nitrate and stir continuously
3) lead chromate separates as precipitate and is the
required pigment
4) filter the precipitate and dry the pigment

Reaction involved
K2CrL4 + Pb (No3)2 PbCrO4 + 2KNo3

Efficiency
Total mass of reactants used = 17g
(Excluding the mass of water used for dilution)
Mass of paint/pigment obtained=11.2g
Efficiency in formation of yellow color=65.88%
Prussian blue
 Prussian blue
Chemically known as compels Ferro cyanide {Fe4
[Fe(CN)6]3}

Procedure
1) make a solution of 5gm of hydrated iron(iii) chloride
in 50ml of water
2) make a solution of 10gm of potassium Ferro cyanide
in 75ml of water
3) add iron chloride solution into potassium Ferro
cyanide solution while stirring briskly
4) a dark blue color very fine powdered type substance
precipitates
5) Filter the precipitate and wash it with water. It takes
a long time to filter this substance

Reactions involved
3K4 [Fe(CN)6]+4FeCl3 Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3

Efficiency
Total mass of reactants used = 15g
(Excluding the mass of water used for dilution)
Mass of paint/pigment obtained = 9.3
Efficiency for forming blue- 62.46%

Barium white
 Barium White
Chemically known as BARIUM SULPHATE (BaSO4),
the white pigment is also known as Barium White

Procedure:
1. Make a solution of 10g of Ammonium Sulphate in
75ML of water
2. Make a solution of 10g of Barium Chloride in 75g
of water
3. Add the solution of Barium Chloride to Ammonium
Sulphate solution and mix well, a white precipitate if
formed

Reaction Involved:
(NH4)2SO4+BaCl2→BaSO4+2NH4Cl
Efficiency:
Total mass of reactants used = 20g
(Excluding mass of water used for dilution)
 Mass of Paint/Pigment obtained =4.5gEfficiency in
Formation of Blue Pigment Obtained is=22.5%

Synthetic malachite
 Synthetic Malachite
Chemically known as BASIC COPPER CARBONATE
[Cu2CO3 (OH) 2],
the green pigment is also known as Synthetic
Malachite.

Procedure:
1. Make a solution of 10g of Copper Sulphate in 25ML
of water.
2. Add about 5g of solid Sodium Bicarbonate, a liitle
at a time with stirring until all the fizzing has stopped and
the reaction is incomplete.
3. Filter out the precipitate of basic copper carbonate
[CuCO3.Cu (OH) 2] that has formed

Reaction Involved:
CuSO4.5H2SO4+NaHCO3-→CuCO3.Cu (OH) 2

Efficiency:
Total mass of reactants used=15g
 (Excluding mass of water used for dilution)
Mass of Paint/Pigment obtained=4.7g
Efficiency in Formation of Blue Pigment Obtained is
= 31.33%

Result

Fine poster paints were obtained using various chemicals

and reactants
