(GRAVIMETRI)
Gravimetry?

 Gravimetric methods are quantitative methods that are based on measuring the
mass of a pure compound to which the analyte is chemically related.

Why gravimetry is important?

 gravimetry is one of only a small number of techniques whose measurements

require only base SI units, such as mass and moles, and defined constants, such as
Avogadro’s number and the mass of 12C.
Gravimetric Factor (GF)

Where R is the number of moles of analyte in one mole of precipitate

Gravimetric factor(GF), which represents the

weight of analyte per unit weight of precipitate. It is
obtained from the ratio of the formula weight of the
analyte to that of the precipitate, multiplied by the
moles of analyte per mole of precipitate obtained
from each mole of analyte, that is

3. A 0.6113-g sample of Dow metal, containing aluminum, magnesium, and other
metals, was dissolved and treated to prevent interferences by the other metals. The
aluminum and magnesium were precipitated with 8-hydroxyquinoline. After
filtering and drying, the mixture of Al(C9H6NO)3 and Mg(C9H6NO)2 was found
to weigh 7.9000 g. The mixture of dried precipitates was then ignited, converting
the precipitate to a mixture of Al2O3 and MgO. The weight of this mixed solid was
found to be 1.0022 g. Calculate the %w/w Al and %w/w Mg in the alloy
Answer :
Precipitate : 1.0022 g, Al2O3 MW = 102 g/moles and MgO = 40 g/moles
Sample : 0.6113 g
Al(C9H6NO)3 , MW = 459 g/moles and Mg(C9H6NO)2 MW = 312 g/moles
EXAMPLE

g Al(C9H6NO)3 + g Mg(C9H6NO)2 = 7.9000 g

g Al2O3 + g MgO = 1.0022 g
EXAMPLE
EXAMPLE
g Al(C9H6NO)3 + g Mg(C9H6NO)2 = 7.9000 g
g Al(C9H6NO)3 + 7.2865 g = 7.9000 g
g Al(C9H6NO)3 = 7.9000 g - 7.2865 g
g Al(C9H6NO)3 = 0.6135 g
