Gravimetry Sample Prob

A 2.5000g sample of impure aluminium sulphate was treated to isolate the aluminum as alumina, Al2O3, which weighed 0.3566g. This result can be expressed as percentages of the original compounds NH4Al(SO4)2, Al2O3, and Al in the sample. A separate 1.4639g limestone sample was analyzed to determine iron as Fe2O3, calcium as Ca3(PO4)2, and magnesium as Mg2P2O7, and the amounts of each are to be reported as percentages by mass in the limestone. A third 1.1374g sample containing NaCl and KCl was dissolved and precipitated as

Gravimetry

Sample Problems
1) The aluminum in 2.5000g sample of impure aluminium sulphate was precipitated with aqueous
ammonia as hydrous Al2O3 xH2O. The precipitate was filtered and ignited at 1000C to give
anhydrous Al2O3 which weighed 0.3566g. Express the result in terms of
a) % NH4Al(SO4)2
b) % Al2O3
c) % Al

2) A 1.4639g sample of limestone was analysed for Fe, Ca, & Mg. The iron was determined as Fe2O3
yielding 0.0400g. The calcium was determined as Ca3(PO4)2 yielding a precipitate of 0.2500g. The
magnesium was isolated as 0.0600g of Mg2P2O7. Report the amount of Fe, Ca, & Mg in %w/w in
the limestone.
3) A 1.1374g sample which contains both NaCl and KCl; upon dissolution of the sample and
precipitation of chlorides as AgCl precipitate weighing 2.3744g. Calculate %NaCl and %KCl in the
sample.
