EXPERIMENT: TO STANDARDIZE THE GIVEN SOLUTION OF SILVER NITRATE BY TITRATING IT WITH THE STANDARD SOLUTION OF SODIUM CHLORIDE.

Apparatus Required: Chemicals Required:

THEORY:
This experiment is the precipitation titration involving the precipitation reaction between silver nitrate and sodium chloride. AgNO3 + NaCl 2AgNO3 + K2CrO4 AgCl + NaNO3

Ag2CrO4 + 2KNO3

A slight excess of AgNO3 solution reacts with indicator K2CrO4 and forms a reddish brown color of AgCrO4. PROCEDURE: 1. Preparation of 0.05 M NaCl solution: 0.7455 gm of sodium chloride was taken by" weight by difference" method. It was then transferred quantitatively to a 250 ml volumetric flask and was dissolved in deionosed water, shaking continuously while adding to make the solution homogeneous. 2. 3. Preparation of approx 0.05 M Silver nitrate solution: 2.122 gm of given Silver nitrate solution was made 250ml by adding deionosed water. Standardization of the Silver nitrate solution with Sodium Chloride: 10 ml of Sodium Chloride solution was pipetted out in a conical flask. 1ml of 5 % Potassium Chromate solution was added .Then it was titrated by slowly adding silver nitrate solution from burette. The addition was continued with shaking till the colour becomes faint reddish brown. The titration was carried out and three concurrent readings were noted. OBESERVATION: Table1: Standardization of Silver nitrate solution: No. of obs. Vol.of NaCl (ml) Burette readings for AgNO3(ml) Initial Final Difference Concurrent reading (ml)
