Pharmaceutical analysis-1- Gravimetric analysis

☞Gravimetric analysis☜

Principle and basic Steps-; 

Gravimetric analysis is based on conversion of ions , or elements into a pure & stable compound after a precipitation reaction.

Formed precipitation can be directly weighed & quantity.

Example-; 

BaClշ    +     HշSo4     →      BaSo4    +   2HCl
Analyte.      Precipitating.     Precipitate
                         Agent
Analyte solution will be taken.
Analyte will be precipitated by using suitable precipitation agent.
Precipitate will be pure & stable compound.
Precipitated compound will be filtered, dried & weighed.

% of analyte= wt of precipitate × gravimetric factor × 100 / wt. Of sample

Gravimetric factor = atomic mass of Ba๋ ๋๋ /atomic mass of BaSO4

Limitations of precipitation-;

Precipitated compound must be converted in pure.
Precipitated compound must be free from impurities.
precipitated compound must be insoluble in the solution.
Precipitated compound must be easily filtered by simple filtration techniques.

Co- precipitation-;

When more than one compound or substance get precipitated in the solution called co- precipitation.
Co- precipitation is causing problem in gravimetric analysis.
It can interfere with original precipitate.

Co- precipitation overcome by-;

1. Digestion
2. Dissolving to precipitate & reprecipitation.

Mechanism of co- precipitation-;

Inclusion — 



Occlusion— 


Methodology or steps involved in gravimetric analysis-;

1. Preparation of sample solution
2. Precipitation
3. Digestion
4. Filtration & washing 
5. Drying or ignition
6. Calculation

1. Preparation of sample solution-;

Sample is prepared by dissolving in suitable.
Adjust the volume, pH of solution.

2. Precipitation-;

Precipitating agent will be added in the prepared sample solution.
After addition of precipitating agent nucleation or precipitate formation starts.


3. Digestion-;

The ppt. Is left hot for 30 - 60 minute in order to digest small Particles.
During digestion small particles get dissolved & reprecipitate after cooling ( Ostwald's ripening).

4. Filtration & washing -;

Take filter paper & filter the supernatant liquid precipitate. 
After filtration washing is due by hot water .
Impurities will be removed by washing.

5. Drying & Ignition-;

After drying or ignition, we can get exactly between structure of the analyte.
Filter paper 1 & 41 known as ashless.

6. Calculation-;

   BaClշ    +    HշSO4  →    BaSO4     +  2HCl 


% of anlyte = wt. Of ppt × gravimetric factor× 100/ wt. Of  sample

Post precipitation-; 

★ Analyte ion will precipitate out first due to ppt agent.
After that other ion are precipitated by same ppt agents. 
Precipitation of these ions called post ppt.
Rate of reaction is slower in post ppt & it is occurs during digestion.
It gives always impurities.

Estimation of BaSO4 -;

Preparation of sample & reagent-;

Sample preparation ⇒ 20.8 gm of BaCl շ⇒ Dissolved in 1 ltr. Distilled water.

Preparation of dilute HշSO4-;
  
Dissolve 3ml concentration HշSO4 ⇒100ml distilled water
BaClշ + HշSO4   ⇒ BaSO4   +   2HCl

Methodology-;

            Pipette out 25 ml BaClշ in beakar
                                       
Add 0.5 ml HշSO4& make up volume upto 100ml
                                        ⇓
                 Heat solution till boiling
                                       
     HշSO4 add dropwise with stirring
                                       
      Ppt formation start & allow the ppt settled                                       down 
                                       
  Filter the ppt through filter paper & washed                           with water 
                                        ⇓
Ignite the ppt in hot air oven after drying
                                       
                 Weigh the ppt sample 
                                       
     Calculate the % of analyte by formula

Instrumentation of potentiometric titration-;

Various parts of potentiometric—

1. Electrode;
a. Reference electrode
standard hydrogen electrode
• calonel electrode
• AgշCl electrode

b. Indicator Electrode
metal electrode
• glass

2. Titration vessels-; It is used to hold the sample.
3. Titration burette-; Hold the titrant.
4. Magnetic stirrer-;  Help to mix / stir the solution present in vessels.

HCl  + NaOH        →         NaCl      +   HշO


Working-;

It involves the measurements of potential of an indicator Electrode with respect to reference electrode. We start adding titrant in small quantity, potential difference created & potentiometer record the cell potential.

Potentiometric titration-; 

It is the method of find out the concentration of solute in a given solution by measuring potential between two electrode.

This method gives more accurate method of determination.
In this method two types of Electrode are used— 
1. Reference electrode.
2.standard electrode
In this method of Titrations no indicator reagent used.
Instead of indicators reagent indicator Electrode is used.

Principle-;

When a pair of Electrode placed in sample solution it's shows the potential difference by addition of titrant, by changing the concentration of ions. 

Types of potentiometric titration-;

1. Acid base titration
2. Redox titration
3. Complexometric titration
4 . Precipitation titration
