Solution
Correct Answer:
AgCl
Gravimetric Analysis relies on the measurement of mass.
- For estimating Chloride ions, Silver nitrate (AgNO3) is added to the sample.
- Precipitate: Silver Chloride (AgCl), which is a white, curdy solid. Ag++Cl−→AgCl↓
- The precipitate is filtered, washed to remove impurities, dried, and weighed. Knowing the mass of AgCl allows for the stoichiometric calculation of the amount of chloride present in the original sample.
This easy difficulty chemistry question is from the chapter principles related to practical chemistry, covering the topic of gravimetric analysis. It appeared in the 2025 exam.
