Experiment Descriptions

Ni-DMG:

Take Ni^2+ solution in a beaker and make the volume to 100 ml. Take ~10 ml of DMG in a thin
measuring flask and 5 ml of ammonia (2 full droppers) and keep them ready.

Place beaker on a heater and pour DMG as soon as tiny bubbles start coming (70 degrees). As soon
as a yellow sol’n is formed pour full ammonia. Keep stirring till a red sol’n is formed.

Place beaker with sol’n on a steam bath till precipitate with clear sol’n is formed. Don’t remove the
glass rod.

Weigh a sintered crucible, place the crucible on an apparatus for filtration. Lock using application of
vacuum. Pour the sol’n very fucking slowly on the glass rod till it entirely gets filtered. Use 1:100
ammonia to remove the rest of the residue and add them to the crucible.

Wash all apparatus using dil. HCl except the dropper. Place the crucible in an oven for 30 min. Take it
out, place it in a dessicator for ~10 min (till it cools down), and take the first weight reading. Repeat
the process (2nd time onwards, time of placing in oven is 10 min) once if error is around 0.1 gm, and
twice if more than that.
