Pre-requisites www.spoken-tutorial.org. |
To follow this tutorial you should be familiar with,
|
Point to the Default lab setup window. | Here I have opened the Vlabs interface. |
Click on File, select Load Homework option.
Point to the dialog-box. |
Click on File menu and select Load
Homework option.
|
Double-Click on Quantitative Analysis Folder.
Click on Gravimetric Determination of Arsenic.
|
Double-Click on Quantitative Analysis folder.
You will see two problems in this folder.
|
Cursor on the workbench.
|
Workbench 1 opens with a Stockroom Explorer on the left.
|
Double-click on Problem Description. | Double-click on the Problem Description. |
Point to the 1st line. | The problem description opens in a new tab.
Read the description given here. |
Highlight the reaction of arsenate with silver ion. | We have to design an experiment to determine the concentration of arsenic.
This is based on the reaction of silver ion with arsenate ion. |
Click on the x button on the top-right corner. | We have to also determine the mass percent of arsenic in the soil samples.
|
Point to the Stockroom Explorer.
Point to Sample 1, Sample 2.
|
Stockroom Explorer is provided with all the required chemicals.
|
Cursor on the interface. | Using gravimetric analysis we will determine the amount of arsenic present in these samples. |
Slide Number 5
Gravimetric Analysis |
About Gravimetric Analysis:
1. It is a method which involves measurement of masses in a precipitation reaction. 2. This method works for a solution where either of the ions present can be precipitated.
|
Slide Number 6
Gravimetric Analysis |
3. An ion in solution is precipitated out, filtered and dried. Its mass is then related to the original ion. 4. Gravimetric analysis relies on stoichiometry. |
Slide Number 7
Steps involved in Gravimetric Analysis |
Steps involved in gravimetric analysis.
1. Write the relevant equation for the analysis. 2. Find the of precipitated compound to the original salt in the soluble form. |
Slide Number 8
Steps involved in Gravimetric Analysis |
3. Find the mass of salt in grams from moles of salt. Grams of salt is equal to moles of the salt multiplied by Mol wt of the salt. 4. Determine the mass percent of the salt. |
Slide Number 9
Reactions Na3AsO4 (aq)+ 3AgNO3 (aq) -> Ag3AsO4 (s) + 3NaNO3(aq) AsO4-3(aq) + 3 Ag+(aq) -> Ag3AsO4 (s) |
This slide shows the reactions involved in this analysis.
Arsenate present in the soil sample reacts with sliver ion to form silver arsenate. Silver arsenate is insoluble in water. |
Slide Number 10
|
Gravimetric analysis relies on stoichiometry.
From this displacement reaction we know that 1 mole of sodium arsenate gives 1 mole of silver arsenate. |
From the Stockroom Explorer,
Double-Click on Sample 1 flask. |
Let us go back to the workbench.
From the Stockroom Explorer, double-click on Sample 1 flask. It is now added to the workbench. |
Click on the Sample 1 flask.
Cursor on Solution Info panel. |
Click on the Sample 1 flask.
|
Cursor on Sample 1 flask. | We will add an excess of silver nitrate to this sample.
This will convert all the arsenate to insoluble sliver arsenate. |
From the Stockroom Explorer,
Double-click on 1 M silver nitrate flask |
Double-click on 1 Molar silver nitrate flask in the stockroom explorer .
1 Molar silver nitrate is added to the workbench. |
Click on glassware menu, select Pipets.
From the submenu select 10 mL Pipet. |
From the glassware menu, select 10 mL Pipet. |
Type 10 in the transfer bar at the bottom of the workbench.
Click on Withdraw button. |
Place the Pipet in 1 Molar silver nitrate solution.
|
Type 1 in the transfer bar at the bottom of
the workbench.
|
We will pour aliquots of 1ml of silver nitrate to the Sample 1 flask.
Pour 1 ml of 1 Molar silver nitrate to the flask. |
Cursor on the Solution info panel. | On the solution info panel, click on the solid radio button if not clicked.
|
Cursor on Solution info panel.
|
You will see an increase in the amount of precipitate on the solution info panel.
|
Cursor on the panel. | This indicates that all the arsenate ions are now, in the form of insoluble silver arsenate precipitate. |
In the solution info panel, in the species section, click on small black arrow. | In the solution info panel the amount of silver arsenate is given in grams as well as moles.
|
Slide number 11
Moles of Ag3AsO4 = 0.37/462.52 = 0.000799 = 0.0008 moles
|
Here are the calculations:
Calculate the percentage of arsenic in the soil Sample 1 as shown here. |
Slide Number 12
|
Tabulate the results of sample 1 as shown here. |
Cursor on the Workbench. | Follow the same procedure and find the mass percent of arsenic in Sample 2. |
Click on New Workbench. | I will open a new workbench.
|
In the solution info panel, in the species section, click on small black arrow. | The solution info panel shows the amount of silver arsenate.
Note the amount in your observation book. |
Slide Number 13
|
Here are the values for Sample 2. |
Slide Number 14
Calculation Table |
The amount of arsenic in the unknown soil samples were found to be 59.9 mg and 37.4 mg per Kg of soil.
The World Health Organization safe limit for arsenic in drinking water is 10 μg per litre. We conclude that both samples 1 and 2 have high levels of arsenic contamination. |
