    This experiment uses a colorimetric method to estimate the percentage of nickel in steel samples. Dimethylglyoxime is used as a complexing agent to form a brown-red colored solution with nickel ions. The absorbance of solutions with varying nickel concentrations is measured at 440 nm to generate a calibration curve. This curve is then used to determine the concentration of nickel in an unknown steel sample based on its measured absorbance. Students will learn to perform quantitative analysis using a complexometric reaction and colorimetric technique, and determine the composition of nickel in different grades of steel.

    Experiment Analysis of elements in an alloy by colorimetry

    Problem definition Mechanical properties of steel depend on its composition. Hence its
    analysis is important for its use in industry.

    Methodology Colorimetric method using dimethylglyoxime as complexing agent to


    form brown-red colored solution for measurement of absorbance at
    λmax of 440 nm.

    Solution Estimation of percentage of nickel in different steel samples

    Student learning Students will learn to perform


    outcomes a) Complexometric reaction and estimation by colorimetric
    technique
    b) Composition of nickel in different grades of steel

    Experimental procedure

    Principle: Dimethylglyoxime reacts with nickel ions and forms a pink coloured Ni(dmg)2
    complex in alkaline medium. Nickel forms a brown-red, water soluble oxidized nickel-
    dimethylglyoxime complex with potassium ferricyanide in alkaline medium as shown in the
    scheme below. The absorption spectrum of the oxidized complex shows absorption maximum
    at a wavelength of 440 nm (Figure 1). After drawing calibration graph the determination of
    nickel concentration in a given unknown sample can be done by colorimetry applying Beer-
    Lambert law.

    Requirements:

    Solutions required
    1. Steel sample containing Nickel (II) solution – Prepare a standard nickel(II) solution by
    weighing 450 mg of NiSO4.6H2O. Quantitatively transfer the weighed sample to a 100 mL
    volumetric flask and dissolve the salt in distilled water. Finally make the volume to 100l mL
    with distilled water. This solution contains 1000 mg of Ni per liter (1000 mg/L). For
    calibration graph make a working stock solution (100 mg/L) by diluting 1 ml of 1000 mg/L
    solution to 100 ml.
    2. Potassium Ferricyanide solution – Dissolve 1.5 g of K3Fe(CN)6 in a 100 mL volumetric
    flask with distilled water.
    3. Dimethylglyoxime in NaOH solution – Take 2.0 g of dimethylglyoxime and 8 g of NaOH
    in a 100 mL volumetric flask and dissolve the salts with 25 mL distilled water and make the
    volume to 100 mL with distilled water.
    4. Sodium Hydroxide solution – Dissolve 40 g of NaOH in 1000 mL of distilled water.
    Procedure:
    Take 6 standard 100 mL volumetric flasks (including the unknown). To every flask add 1.00
    mL of dimethylglyoxime solution by a pipette followed by 1,00 mL of potassium ferricyanide
    solution by a burette. Then add 1.00, 2.00, 3.00, 4.00, and 5.00 mL of the steel containing
    nickel(II) solution from a burette to the flask. All flasks are shaken well and made up to 100
    mL mark with 1N NaOH solution. Allow the flasks at least for 15 minutes after the addition
    of all the reagents for the complete complex formation. Then the absorbance of the formed
    brown-red solution is measured at 440 nm against the distilled water blank. Record these
    absorbance readings in Table-1. Draw a calibration graph taking concentration of nickel (II)
    as X-axis and absorbance readings as Y-axis and a straight line that passes through the origin
    is obtained as shown in Figure 2. From the molar concentration of nickel solution and cell
    path length, calculate the molar absorptivity of the oxidized nickel-dimethylglyoxime
    complex at 440 nm. From the calibration plot, measure the concentration of nickel in the
    unknown sample.
    Result
    Concentration of Nickel in the steel sample = ppm (mg/L)
