DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY Problem Set – PRECIPITATION TITRATION

1. A mixture containing only KCl and NaBr is analyzed by the Mohr Method. A 0.3172-g sample is
dissolved in 50 mL water and titrated to the Ag2CrO4 endpoint, requiring 36.85 mL of 0.1120 M AgNO3.
A blank titration requires 0.71 mL of titrant to reach the same endpoint. Report the % (w/w) KCl and NaBr
in the sample. [Ans. 84.41 % (w /w); 17.59 % (w /w)]

2. A 0.5131-g sample containing KBr is dissolved in 50 mL distilled water. Titrating with 0.04614 M
AgNO3 requires 25.13 mL to reach the Mohr endpoint. A blank titration requires 0.65 mL to reach the same
endpoint. Report the % (w/w) KBr in the sample. [A ns. 26.19 % (w /w)]

3. The % (w/w) I- in a 0.6712-g sample was determined by Volhard titration. After adding 50.00 mL of
0.05619 M AgNO3 and allowing the precipitate to form, the remaining silver was back-titrated with 0.05322
M KSCN, requiring 35.14 mL to reach the endpoint. Report the %(w/w) I- in the sample. [Ans. 17.76 % (w
/w)]

4. A 0.1036-g sample containing only BaCl2 and NaCl is dissolved in 50 mL of distilled water. Titrating
with 0.07916 M AgNO3 requires 19.46 mL to reach the Fajans endpoint. Report the % (w/w) BaCl 2 in the
sample. [Ans. 29.86 % (w /w)]

5. A 0.1093-g sample of impure Na2CO3 was analyzed by the Volhard method. After adding 50.00 mL of
0.06911 M AgNO3, the sample was back-titrated with 0.05781 M KSCN, requiring 27.36 mL to reach the
endpoint. Report the purity of the Na2CO3 sample. [Ans. 90.9 % (w /w)]
