Fällungstitration (Mohr-Methode)

Bestimmung der Chloridkonzentration mit Silbernitrat

Titrations Advanced (University) 45 Min. ~$20,00

Ziel

Die Chloridionenkonzentration in einer Lösung nach der Mohr-Methode bestimmen, bei der Silbernitrat als Titrant und Kaliumchromat als Indikator dient.

Hintergrund

In the Mohr method, silver nitrate reacts with chloride ions to form white silver chloride precipitate. When all chloride is consumed, the first excess silver reacts with the chromate indicator to form brick-red silver chromate, signaling the endpoint. This method works at near-neutral pH.

Sicherheitswarnungen

  • Silver nitrate stains skin and clothing permanently
  • Potassium chromate is toxic and a suspected carcinogen — handle with extreme care
  • Wear nitrile gloves and safety goggles
  • Dispose of silver and chromate waste in designated containers

Materialien

  • Sodium chloride solution (100 mL)
    Unknown concentration
  • Silver nitrate (AgNO₃) (100 mL)
    0.1M standardized
  • Potassium chromate (K₂CrO₄) (10 mL)
    5% indicator solution
  • Distilled water (200 mL)

Ausrüstung

50 mL burette Burette stand and clamp 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask 25 mL pipette White tile

Durchführung

1

Pipette 25.0 mL of the chloride solution into the Erlenmeyer flask.

2 Min.
2

Add 1 mL of 5% potassium chromate indicator. The solution turns pale yellow.

1 Min. Chromate is toxic — use minimal amount
3

Fill the burette with 0.1M AgNO₃. Record the initial volume.

3 Min. AgNO₃ stains permanently
4

Titrate while swirling vigorously. A white precipitate of AgCl forms.

10 Min.
5

Near the endpoint, the precipitate becomes more curd-like. Add AgNO₃ drop by drop until a permanent brick-red color of Ag₂CrO₄ appears.

5 Min.
6

Record the volume. Repeat for concordant results.

15 Min.
7

Calculate chloride concentration: C(Cl⁻) = C(Ag+) x V(AgNO₃) / V(sample).

5 Min.

Erwartete Ergebnisse

The endpoint is marked by the first permanent appearance of a brick-red color due to Ag₂CrO₄ formation. This color should persist for at least 30 seconds after swirling.

Aufräumen

Collect all silver-containing waste in the designated heavy metal waste container. Collect chromate waste separately. Never dispose down the drain. Wash hands thoroughly.
