    The document discusses the Mohr method for determining chloride concentration through gravimetric titration. It involves titrating a chloride sample with silver nitrate solution until the endpoint is reached and silver chloride precipitates out. An indicator, potassium chromate, is also used such that the red-orange silver chromate precipitate forms at the endpoint when all chloride has been precipitated as the less soluble silver chloride. The document provides context on gravimetric titration and its advantages over volumetric titration, an example calculation of weight formality, and cautions about accurately determining concentrations.

    Todays Outline Chloride Determination by the Mohr Method

    A Gravimetric Titration Chem 223 Help Sessions F, 2:00 W005 BNSN Intro to gravimetric methods Weight formality The Mohr method for chloride determination (Experiment 4)

    Two Types of Titration


    Volumetric
    Measures volume of reagent required for complete reaction Uses volumetric buret

    And now, from the home office in Sioux City, Iowa

    Top 4 Advantages of Gravimetric Titration


    1. 2. Gravimetric procedures are generally faster and more convenient than volumetric ones Balances have greater precision and accuracy than volumetric equipment. Therefore gravimetric titrations can be done with smaller amounts of sample and reagent while achieving the same accuracy. Calibration is usually done for you by the person who maintains the balance. Gravimetric titrations are easier to automate, because better equipment is available for automated mass measurement.

    Gravimetric
    Measures mass of reagent required for complete reaction Uses accurate balance with gravimetric buret

    3. 4.

    Concentration Units
    Molarity = moles of solute (as solute molecules) L of solution moles of solute used L of solution moles of solute used kg of solution

    Example Weight Formality Calculation


    How many grams of NaCl, and what volume of water, should be used to prepare ~0.1 L of 0.05 WF Cl-?
    Hint: formality weight formality About how many g NaCl are needed? mol g g NaCl = (0.05 )(0.1 L)(58.44 )= L mol What volume of water should be used?

    Formality =

    Weight Formality =

    0.2922 g NaCl

    Note: unlike molarity and formality, weight formality does NOT depend on temperature

    0.1 L

    Cautionary Note
    The values we have just calculated are approximate. How would you really make 0.05 WF NaCl?
    Accurately weigh out about the amount of NaCl you calculated, into a flask large enough to prepare the solution. Note the weight of the flask + NaCl, then add about the appropriate volume of water and accurately weigh again. From the masses used, calculate the accurate weight formality. If we used 0.2922 g NaCl and 100.0 g water, the actual weight formality would be:
    0.005000 mol 1000 g = 0.04985 WF (100.0 + 0.2922) g kg

    The Mohr Method for Cl A colored precipitate forms at the end point
    Titration reaction: Indicator reaction: Ag+ + Cl + AgCl (s) 2Ag+ + CrO42- Ag2CrO4 (s)

    Which salt, AgCl or Ag 2CrO4, is more soluble? Ag2CrO4 is more soluble. It wont precipitate until all the Cl - has precipitated, allowing [Ag +] to rise.
