INTRODUCTION
Precipitation reaction
▪Results in the formation of an
insoluble product or precipitate
▪Usually involve 2 ionic
compounds react to produce a
precipitate
EXAMPLE:
Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2NaI(aq)
PbI2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)
These reactions occur when the
solute-solute attractions between
the ions in the precipitate are
stronger than the solvent-solute
attractions.
Precipitate:
▪An insoluble solid
compound formed during a
chemical reaction in solution
 An insoluble substance
which falls out of the solution
Solubility
▪The maximum amount
of solute that will
dissolve in a given
quantity of solvent at
specific temperature
PRECIPITATION EQUILIBRIA
Consider the general reaction:
AgCl (s)
AgCl (aq)
Ag+ +
Cl-
Ksp = [Ag+][Cl-]
Ksp : solubility product constant , or
solubility product
[ ] : molar concentration of ion product
PRECIPITATION: WILL IT OCCUR?
AgCl (s)

Ag+ +
Cl-
To determine whether a precipitate will
form→ compare Q and Ksp
Q →ion product
(original concentrations are used)
Q= [Ag+][Cl-]
PRECIPITATION: WILL IT OCCUR?
If : Q > Ksp : Supersaturated solution;
AgCl will precipitate out
Q < Ksp : Unsaturated solution
Q = Ksp : saturated solution
Q= [Ag+][Cl-]
Example
Write the solubility product
expressions :
PbI2(s)
(b) Pb3(AsO4)2 (s)
(a)
EXAMPLE
What are the molar concentration of
Ag+ and CrO42- in a saturated
solution of Ag2CrO4 at 25 C?
(For Ag2CrO4, Ksp= 1.9 x 10-12).
EXAMPLE
The Ksp value for copper(II)
iodate, Cu(IO3)2, is 1.4 x 10-7 at
25 C. Calculate its solubility
at 25 C.

PRECIPITATION TITRATION
(PRECIPITATOMETRIC)
▪ Titrations between analytes and reagents
resulting in the formation of a precipitate.
➢ Or which is based on reactions that yield ionic
compounds of limited solubility
▪ It is one of the oldest analytical techniques.
▪ The most useful of these precipitating reagents is
silver nitrate.
PRECIPITATION TITRATION
•
Used for the determination of many
anions including:
➢
➢
➢
➢
halides (most popular)
divalent anions
mercaptans
certain fatty acids
PRECIPITATION TITRATION
• Precipitation titrations are based
SOLUBILITY PRODUCT of the salt, KSP.
on
the
• The smaller KSP, the less soluble the silver salt
and the easier it is to determine the endpoint
• Endpoint determination is by coloured
indicators (usually back titrations) or turbidity
methods.
The most accurate is the VOLHARD METHOD.
TITRATION CURVES
A plot of the progress of a titration as a
function of the volume of titrant added.
OR
▪ a result of plotting
postequivalence point region

PRECIPITATION TITRATION CURVES
INVOLVING SILVER ION
▪ The most common method of determining the
halide ion concentration of aqueous solution is
titration with a standard solution of silver
nitrate.
▪ To construct titration curve three type of
calculation are required, each of which
corresponds to a distinct stage in the reaction:
(1)pre-equivalence,
(2)equivalence, and
(3)post-equivalence.

(a) pre/Behind (Beginning) Equivalence
Point Of The Titration:
▪ We have 0.1 M Cl-, and pCl is 1
▪ Titration continues, part of the Cl- is
removed from solution by precipitation as
AgCl.
pCl is determined by the concentration of
the remaining Cl-.
The contribution of Cl- from dissocciation
of precipatate is negligible (coz very small)
AgCl
Ag+ + Cl-
(b) Equivalence Point
▪A saturated solution of AgCl will formed
Ksp = [Ag+][Cl-]
Notice that : [Ag+]= [Cl-]= x
Ksp = [Cl-] [Cl-]
= [Cl-]2
 Ksp = [Cl-]
(c) Post/Beyond The Equivalence Point
▪Excess Ag+
 the Cl- concentration is
determined from the concentration
of Ag+ and Ksp of AgCl.
FACTORS INVOLVE IN TITRATION CURVES
(1) Solubility
▪ The smaller Ksp, the larger the
break pX at the equivalence
point
(X: Cl-, Br -, I-)
Example Ksp value of :
AgCl
1 x 10-10
AgBr
4 x 10-13
AgI
1 x 10-16

point, [X ] is smaller when
Ksp is smaller.
▪Overall effect: is a larger

point
(2) CONCENTRATION
▪Concentration of analyte and titrant will
involve in magnitude of pAg at
equivalence point area
▪If concentration of analyte and titrant
that have been used more dilute,
resulting in smaller pAg at the
equivalence point
 To choice indicator : more difficult.
PRECIPITATOMETRIC TITRATION
Three types:
(1) Argentometric
• Involve with silver ion
(2) Mercurimetric
Hg2+ + 2Cl-
HgCl2 (as for other halides)
(3) Kolthoff
2 K4Fe(CN)6 + 3Zn2
K2Zn3[Fe(CN)6]2 + 6K+
ARGENTOMETRIC TITRATION
▪ most usefull method of precipitatometric
titration, as it caused of very low solubility
product of halide (or pseudohalide)
salts,i.e.
Ksp AgCl = 1.82 x 10-10
Ksp AgCN = 2.2 x10-16
Ksp AgCNS = 1.1 x 10-12
Ksp AgI = 8.3 x10-17
Ksp AgBr = 5.0 x10-18
ARGENTOMETRIC TITRATION
• Titrations involving silver or Argentum.
• The major precipitation reaction used is
that of silver with a range of anions
including:
➢ Halides (Cl-, Br-, I-)
➢ Pseudohalides (S2-, HS-, CN-, SCN-)
• The reaction rates for the silver salt
precipitation is rapid.
• The reaction ratio is 1:1 and silver salts
formed are generally quite insoluble.
Indicators for Argentometric Titrations
❑Three types of end points are encountered in
titrations with silver nitrate
(1) chemical (coloured indicators)
(2)potentiometric (electrochemical techniques)
(3)amperometric
❑ The end point produced by a chemical indicator
consists of a color change or occasionally, The
requirements for an indicator are the color change
should :
(1)occur over a limited range in p- function of the
reagent or the analyte .
(2)take place within the step portion of the titration
curve for the analyte.
DETECTION OF THE END POINT:
INDICATORS
Three chemical techniques of end point determination:
(1) Mohr (indicator : chromic potassium)
(2) Volhard (indicator : ferric salt)
(3) Fajans (indicator : fluorosceince)
(1) MOHR METHOD
▪ Introduced by : K.F. Mohr (Germany/ 1865)
▪ useful for determining Cl- in neutral or unbuffered
solutions such as drinking water.
▪ This direct method uses potassium chromate (chromate
ions (CrO4 2-) ) as an indicator in the titration of (Cl-, Br-,
and CN- )ions (analyte) with a silver nitrate standard
solution (titrant).
▪ Eg:
Chloride is titrated with standard AgNO3 solution.
titration reaction:
Ag+ + ClAgCl(s)
white precipitate
Ksp = 1.8 x 10–10
(1)MOHR METHOD
▪ A soluble chromate salt(Na2CrO4) is added
as the indicator. This produces a yellow
color solution.
▪ When the precipitation of the chloride is
complete, the first excess of Ag+ reacts with
the indicator to precipitate red silver
chromate, Ag2CrO4(s)
Indicator reaction:
2 Ag+(aq) + CrO42–(aq) →Ag2CrO4(s)
excess
Yellow
red ppt
Ksp = 1.2 x 10–12
Conditions For Mohr’s Method
▪ The titrations are performed only in neutral
or slightly basic (pH 8) medium to prevent
silver hydroxide formation
(1) at pH > 10
(2) Or the formation of chromic acid at pH < 7.
• Reducing [CrO4 2- ] will delay the formation of the precipitate
although more Ag+ to be added to reach end point, which
cause error.
(2) VOLHARD TITRATION
▪ Introduced by : Jacob Volhard (Germany/ 1874)
▪ indirect (back titration) technique which is used if
reaction is too slow or if there is no appropriate
indicator selected for determining the equivalent
point.
▪ Used for determining anions that precipitate with
silver (Cl-, Br-, I-, SCN-) in acid medium.
▪ performed in HNO3 solution (acidic solution) to
prevent precipitation of iron (III) as the hydrated
oxide
(2) VOLHARD TITRATION
▪ Ag+ is titrated with standard SCN- solution (in
HNO3 solution) while Fe3+ used as indicator
Ag+(aq) + Cl–(aq) → AgCl(s) + excess Ag+
▪ the excess silver ion is determined by
back-titration with a standard potassium
thiocyanate solution
excess Ag+(aq) + SCN–(aq) → AgSCN(s)
(2) VOLHARD TITRATION
▪ The endpoint is detected by adding iron III (Fe3+)
as ferric ammonium sulfate which forms a soluble
red complex with the first excess of titrant.
Fe3+(aq) + SCN–(aq) → [FeSCN]2+(aq)
(red)
(3) FAJAN’S METHOD
▪Used adsorption indicator:
an organic compound that tends to
be adsorbed onto the surface of the
solid in a precipitation titration.
Ideally, the adsorption occurs near
the equivalence point and results not
only in a color change but also in a
transfer of color from the solution to
the solid (or the reverse).
(3) FAJAN’S METHOD
▪ uses an adsorption indicator: Fluorescein,
Dichlorofluorescein or Eosin.
▪ The indicator adsorb onto the surface of the silver salt
precipitate at the endpoint.
▪ The adsorption process causes a change in the color of the
indicator.
▪ Common Fajans adsorption indicators are weakly acidic
organic compounds and in alkaline conditions will exist as
the conjugate base.
▪ This form of the indicator which interacts with the
precipitate
(3) FAJAN’S METHOD
Indicators have different colour in
the free and absorbed form.
Changes from greenish yellow to pink
Sharper color transition, binds to tightly to Cl-
(3) FAJAN’S METHOD
▪ Fluorescein: a typical adsorption indicator
useful for titration of chloride ion with silver
nitrate.
▪ In aqueous solution, fluorescein partially
dissociates into hydronium ions and
negatively charged fluoresceinate ion that
are yellow-green.
▪ The fluoresceinate ion forms an intensely
red silver salt.
Example : Fluoresence in form of its fluorescenate (yellowish
green) anion react with Ag+ to form an intensive red
precipitate which is adsorbed to AgCl precipitate surface
caused by ionic pair interaction.

EXAMPLE
The titration of Cl- with Ag+ as titrant:

+ Na+
(a) Before the equivalence point
▪ Cl- is in excess, and the primary adsorbed layer is AgCl
will be precipitate.
AgCl : Cl
1 layer
▪ The primary adsorbed (Cl-) will now attract the cations
(Na+) to form secondary layer of adsorbed ions
AgCl:Cl-::Na+

2 layer/counter ion layer
▪ Indicator gives yellow-green colour to solution
(b) Postequivalence point region
▪ Ag+ is in excess,  the surface of the
precipitate becomes positively charged,
with the 1 layer being Ag+
▪ This will now attract the indicator anion and
adsorb it in the 2 layer
(Indicator is adsorbed on surface of ppt)
