   Requirement: Pair of nessler cylinder, beaker, glass rod, AgNO3 sol., dil.HNO3, std.   
                            NaCl solution.
Principle:
Limit test of Chloride is based upon simple reaction between AgNO3 and soluble chloride to obtain AgCl which is insoluble in dil.HNO3 which makes the solution turbid. The extent of turbidity depends upon the amount of chloride present in substance and compared with std. turbidity produced by addition of AgNO3 to std. sol. of known amount of NaCl in presence of dil. HNO3.

Cl- + AgNO3 AgCl + NO3-
NaCl + AgNO3  AgCl + NaNO3

Procedure:
  • Wash a pair of nessler cylinder distilled water & dry it.
  • Lable as std. and test solution.
  • Then prepare solution as follows.

  •      Allow both the cylinder to stand for 5min
  •      Compare turbidity of test & std. sol. by viewing in front of dark background.

Observation:
The intensity of the turbidity is depends on the amount of chloride present in the solution. The turbidity developed in test and standard solution is compared by viewing over dark background.The extent of turbidity of the test solution is more/less than the standard solution

Conclusion
The extent of turbidity of the test solution is more/less than the standard solution.therefore it is concluded that impurities of chloride in given sample is over/under the limit as per IP-2010,hence sample pass the limit test for chloride

Aim: To perform limit test of Arsenic for given sample as per I.P 2010.(Demonstration)

   Requirement: Pair of nessler cylinder, gutzeit apparatus, beaker, glass rod, pipette, stand, 
                           
Principle:
Limit test of Arsenic is based on the reaction of arsenic gas with hydrogen ion to form yellow stain on mercuric chloride paper in presence of reducing agents like potassium iodide. It is also called as Gutzeit test and requires special apparatus.

Arsenic, present as arsenic acid in the sample is reduced to arsenious acid by reducing agents like potassium iodide, stannous acid, zinc, hydrochloric acid, etc. Arsenious acid is further reduced to arsine (gas) by hydrogen and reacts with mercuric chloride paper to give a yellow stain. The depth of yellow stain on mercuric chloride paper will depend upon the quality of arsenic present in the sample.
Chemical reaction:

H3AsO4 +H2SnO2 →H3AsO3 +H2SnO3
 Arsenicacid           Arseniousacid

 H3AsO3 +3H2 → AsH3 +3H2O
 Arseniousacid    Arsinegas

GUTZEIT APPARATUS
















Procedure:
Test solution: 

The test solution is prepared by dissolving specific amount in water and stannated HCl (arsenic free) and kept in a wide mouthed bottle.

To this solution 1 gm of KI, 5 ml of stannous chloride acid solution and 10 gm of zinc is added (all this reagents must be arsenic free)

Keep the solution aside for 40 min and stain obtained on mercuric chloride paper is compared with standard solution.


Standard solution: 
A known quantity of dilute arsenic solution is kept in wide mouthed bottle and rest procedure is followed as described in test solution

Observation
 The depth of the yellow stain depending upon the amount of arsenic present in the sample, is compared with that of standard stain produced from a known amount of arsenic. The depth of yellow stain on mercuric chloride paper will depend upon the quality of arsenic present in the sample

Practical: -14
Aim: To perform the identification test for magnesium hydroxide
Reference: H.G Raval, Practicals in Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, Nirav and Roopal Prakasan, Ist edition, Page no. 22.
Requirements:
Chemicals & Reagents: Magnesium hydroxide powder, Ammonia solution, ammonium chloride solution, sodium hydrogen phosphate, litmus paper, HgCl2 solution
Glassware: Test tube, beaker, funnel watch glass, spatula
Chemical formula: Mg(OH) 2
Theory: Magnesium hydroxide is a white solid with low solubility in water Magnesium is important for many systems in the body especially the muscles and nerves. Magnesium hydroxide is used as a laxative to relieve occasional constipation (irregularity) and as an antacid to relieve indigestion, sour stomach, and heartburn.
Uses: Magnesium hydroxide is a common component of antacids, such as milk of magnesia, as well as laxatives.
Reactions:
Mg2+ + Na2HPO4 + NH3                         Mg (NH4) PO4  (white part)

Inference
1.
Take 15 mg of substance being examined. Add 2 ml of H2O and 1 ml of dilute NH3 solution.
A white precipitate is formed
Mg2+ may be present
2.
To the above solution, add 1 ml of 2 M NH4Cl
Precipitates redissolves

Mg2+ confirmed
3.
Add 1 ml of 0.25 M of Na2HPO4
A white crystalline ppt is formed

Result: The given sample contains Mg2+ cations


B) Identification test for OH-

Inference
1.
Perform litmus paper test for O.S
Red litmus paper turns to blue
OH- may be present
2.
O.S. + HgCl2 solution
Yellow precipitates
OH- is confirmed

Result: The given sample contains OH- anions



Practical: -15
Aim: To estimate neutralizing capacity of aluminium hydroxide gel I.P 2010
Synonym: Aluminium hydroxide suspension, Aluminium hydroxide mixture
Requirements:
Chemicals & Reagents: Dried aluminium hydroxide, 0.1 M hydrochloric acid, 0.1 M sodium hydroxide
Glassware: Burette, beaker, funnel, glass rod, conical flask, measuring cylinder.
Description: A white, viscous suspension translucent in thin layers; small amounts of clear liquid may separate on standing. Aluminium Hydroxide Gel is an aqueous suspension of hydrated aluminium oxide together with varying quantities of basic aluminium carbonate and bicarbonate. It may contain Glycerin, Sorbitol, Sucrose or Saccharin as sweetening agents and peppermint oil or other suitable flavours. It may also contain suitable antimicrobial agents.Aluminium Hydroxide Gel contains not less than 3.5 per cent and not more than 4.4 percent w/w of Al2O3
Category: Antacid
Procedure: Disperse 5.0 g in 100 ml of water, heat to 37  ̊C, add 100.0 ml of 0.1 M hydrochloric acid previously heated to 37  ̊C and stir continuously, maintaining the temperature at 37   ̊C; the pH of the solution, at 37  ̊C, after 10, 15 and 20 minutes, is not less than 1.8, 2.3 and 3.0 respectively and at no time is more than 4.5. Add 10.0 ml of 0.1 M hydrochloric acid previously heated to 37   ̊C, stir continuously for 1 hour maintaining the temperature at 37  ̊C and titrate with 0.1 M sodium hydroxide to pH 3.5.

Calculation


Result
The neutralizing capacity of aluminium hydroxide gel was found to be ………………
