Typically, it is used to determine the amount of chloride present in a sample. The sample solution is titrated against a solution of silver nitrate of known concentration. Chloride ions react with silver(I) ions to give the insoluble silver chloride: Ag + (aq) + Cl − (aq) → AgCl (s) (K = 5.88 × 10 −9)
Example of Mohr argentometric titration near the endpoint: note the characteristic brick-red colour appearing due to silver chromate formation. The reactivity of the chromate anion with silver is lower than with halides (e.g. chlorides) so that in a mixture of both ions, only silver chloride precipitate will form: [9] AgNO 3(aq) + Cl − (aq ...
Dichlorofluorescein (DCF) is an organic dye of the fluorescein family, being substituted at the 2 and 7 positions by chloride. It is used as an indicator for argentometry by Fajans method. [1] [2] When used as an indicator, upon reaching the equivalence point of a titration reaction the color shifts from colorless towards a faint pink.
A chloridometer is a measuring instrument used to determine the concentration of chloride ions (Cl –) in a solution.It uses a process known as coulometric titration or amperostatic coulometry, the accepted electrochemistry reference method to determine the concentration of chloride in biological fluids, including blood serum, blood plasma, urine, sweat, and cerebrospinal fluid.
Complexometric titration (sometimes chelatometry) is a form of volumetric analysis in which the formation of a colored complex is used to indicate the end point of a titration. Complexometric titrations are particularly useful for the determination of a mixture of different metal ions in solution.
The most elaborately accurate, but totally destructive, precious metal assay is fire assay. (It may also be called by the critical cupellation step that separates precious metal from lead.) If performed on bullion to international standards, the method can be accurate on gold metal to 1 part in 10,000. If performed on ore materials using fusion ...
Silver chloride is unusual in that, unlike most chloride salts, it has very low solubility. It is easily synthesized by metathesis: combining an aqueous solution of silver nitrate (which is soluble) with a soluble chloride salt, such as sodium chloride (which is used industrially as a method of producing AgCl), or cobalt(II) chloride.
Heteroleptic complexes containing chloride are numerous. Most hydrated metal halides are members of this class. Hexamminecobalt(III) chloride and Cisplatin (cis-Pt(NH 3) 2 Cl 2) are prominent examples of metal-ammine-chlorides.
