Basic Principles, methods, and application of diazotization titration
Researchers employ diazotization titration, also known as diazo or nitrite titration, as an analytical technique to determine the concentration of compounds that incorporate amino or amine functional groups. The method is based on the reaction between a primary aromatic amine and sodium nitrite (NaNO2) in the presence of acid to …
Purity of the precipitate: co-precipitation and post-precipitation
Gravimetric analysis is highly accurate when performed with care, and it is commonly used to determine various analytes, including metal ions, organic compounds, and minerals. The technique is valuable in quality control, environmental monitoring, and scientific research, where precision and reliability are crucial. In gravimetric analysis, the purity of the …
Gravimetry
Gravimetry is a quantitative analytical technique in chemistry for determining the concentration or quantity of a specific substance in a sample by measuring either the mass of a precipitate or the change in mass of a sample before and after a chemical reaction. This method is based on the principle …
