Synopsis:
This experiment conducted used the Gravimetric Analysis method to determine the concentration of an unknown sulfate solution. The unknown sulfate solution was pipetted into a smaller beaker, acidified, heated, decanted through filtration, dried, cooled and weighed. What was found at the end of the result was Barium Sulfate precipitate which weighed 0.1783 grams. The concentration of the unknown sulfate solution was found to be 2.9385 g/L and its molarity was 0.0306M.
Objective:
To determine the amount of sulfate in an unknown concentrated solution by the Gravimetric Analysis method.
Theory:
Ba + SO42-→ BaSO4 (Precipitate)
Gravimetric analysis is a technique through which the amount of an analyte (sulfate being analysed) can be determined through the measurement of mass. The principle behind gravimetric

Empty contents into crucible while the vacuum pump is working Further wash the precipitate with warm deionised water at vacuum pump for an additional 2 more times Discard the filtrate Dry crucible with Barium Sulfate precipitate in the oven at 150°C for 30 minutes. Cool crucible in a desiccator for 10 minutes. Weigh crucible once it has cooled down Weight the crucible and calculate the weight difference from before and now. The calculated weight difference is the weight of the Barium Sulfate precipitate.

Discussion
During the procedures, it is best to note the necessary precautions: Do not extract amount of solution from the source directly. Instead, extract a portion of it into a beaker and then take the precise solution out to prevent any contaminations in the source. Before using any of your equipment, it is best to condition them first to prevent any contamination that could affect the concentration of the 10% Barium Chloride and unknown concentration of sulfate solution
A precipitation reaction can occur when two ionic compounds react and produce an insoluble solid. A precipitate is the result of this reaction. This experiment demonstrates how different compounds, react with each other; specifically relating to the solubility of the compounds involved. The independent variable, will be the changing of the various chemical solutions that were mixed in order to produce different results. Conversely the dependent variable will be the result of the independent variable, these include the precipitates formed, and the changes that can be observed after the experiment has been conducted. The controlled variable will be the measurement of ten droplets per test tube.
Its value is usually around the 1.00. Thus, as urine becomes more concentrated, specific gravity will become higher. Specific gravity was expected to gradually decrease as urine becomes diluted and less water is reabsorbed. The value was not expected to change much, staying somewhere around the value of 1.00 for each subject. The results were in accordance with the hypothesis as all subjects specific gravity had slightly decreased over the 90-minute time period, staying within close proximity of 1.00. The subjects with the greatest change were the ones drinking 16 ml/Kg of water as urine seemed to be diluted most in this group. The graph shows that specific gravity of subjects drinking caffeine free soda had an initial increase then decreases at the end. Each group drinking varying amounts of water had the lowest average of specific gravity showing that dilution of urine can affect the value of specific

We planned to start our experiment by doing some preliminary work. We planned to set up our experiment in the following way.

Gravitational Pull and Parachute Investigation. Aim The aim of the experiment is to investigate how each of several different weights of varying mass attached to a parachute in turn can influence the gravitational pull and air resistance forces acting on it, consequently affecting the time it takes to reach the ground when dropped from a specific height. Preliminary Work Forces are measured in Newtons (N), named after Isaac Newton who invented this unit of the. We cannot see them but instead we can see their effects on objects, so forces are described in terms of what they do.
The mixture was poured through a weight filter paper and Sucrose washed with a 5ml of dichloromethane. The resulting solid was left in a breaker to dry for one week, to be measured. Left it in the drawer to dry out for a week and weighted it to find the sucrose amount recovered amount.
Once the mixture had been completely dissolved, the solution was transferred to a separatory funnel. The solution was then extracted twice using 5.0 mL of 1 M
The formula for Epsom salts is MgSO4•7H2O. If 1.250 g of the compound is dissolved is water, calculate the number of milliliters of 0.200 M Ba(NO3)2 that would be required to precipitate all of the sulfate ions as barium sulfate. Make the same determination for 1.000 g of alum.
11.) Subtract the mass of the evaporating dish from the mass of the evaporating dish and it's contents. Multiply that number by 10 to get the solubilty in grams per 100 cm3 of water.
We were assigned a group and instructed to measure the amount of different ions in that particular fertilizer sample by counting to preform tests. We used the formula SO4 + Agent —> Percipitat + others. Our job was to add 0.25 g of a fertilizer sample to 100 mL of water to dissolve, then add the agent Pb(NO2)3 to the water also, then filter and dry the water, and distinguish the mass. The was accomplished by using the % formula Mass SO4 = Mass Pb(NO3)2 x MW Pb(NO3)2/ MWPb(NO3)2 to gain the percentage, the the formula Mass SO4/MW SO4 =
One of the best methods for determining mass in chemistry is gravimetric analysis (Lab Handout). It is essentially using the the mass of the product to figure out the original mass that we are looking for. Thus the purpose of our experiment was to compare the final mass in our reaction to the initial mass and determine the change in mass.
