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-;
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.
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
