5.3.1.2
Potentiometer.
5.3.1.3
Magnetic stirrer.
5.3.2
Material
and reagents:
5.3.2.1
50.0ml of glacial
acetic acid.
5.3.2.2
0.1M Perchloric
acid.
5.3.2.3
Crystal violet
solution.
5.3.3
Sample:
5.3.3.1
0.300g.
5.3.4
Method
of analysis:
5.3.4.1 Take
a 50.0ml of beaker and take 0.300g of sample in it.
5.3.4.2 Add
50.0ml of glacial acetic acid in it and dissolve by using magnetic stirrer.
5.3.4.3 Fill
the right hand side burette with titrant 0.1M Perchloric acid.
5.3.4.4 Carry
out a Potentiometric titration using crystal violet solution as an indicator.
5.3.4.5 Operate
potentiometer according to SOP.
5.3.4.6 To
neutralize analyte add titrant fixed volume (1ml, 0.5ml or 0.1ml) from burette
every time note the reading of change in potential difference (millivolts) for
each addition in given annexure-2.
5.3.4.7 Plot
a graph, volume used v/s millivolts.
5.3.4.8 Find
out the END POINT.
5.3.4.9 Peak
of graph indicates END POINT i.e. the point at which maximum millivolts. Note
down volume used at that point.
5.3.4.10 Perform
blank titration without using sample. Similarly, as sample titration performed.
Record observations in annexure-2.
5.3.4.11 Calculate
volume used by substance by using formula:
Volume
used by substance = Blank titration - Sample titration.
5.3.4.12 Calculate
percentage purity of the sample by using formula:
%age
purity = volume used by substance x factor x 100
Weight of sample
