SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the impact of contaminants, specifically lead (II) chloride and iron (III) chloride (FeCl3), on the titration of barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2). It concludes that the presence of these contaminants alters the solubility and composition of the solution, leading to inaccurate concentration calculations. The participants emphasize the importance of understanding the chemical reactions that occur upon contamination to accurately interpret titration results.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of acid-base titration principles
  • Knowledge of solubility rules and ionic compounds
  • Familiarity with chemical reaction equations
  • Basic skills in analytical chemistry techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the solubility of lead (II) chloride in aqueous solutions
  • Study the effects of contaminants on titration results
  • Learn about the chemical reactions between Ba(OH)2 and common contaminants
  • Explore methods for purifying samples before titration
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, laboratory technicians, and educators involved in analytical chemistry and titration experiments.

Homework Statement



suppose a small amount lead (II) chloride got into your Ba(OH)2 sample before titration, contaminating it. how do you think the contamination would affect your calculated concentration for the sample? what about a small amount of FeCl3?

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


would it just make it less soluble and therefore make the calculated concentration too high? why?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Think what reactions will occur after contaminant is added. How do they change the original composition of the solution? How these changes in the composition will be reflected in the final result of your titration?

Note: you have not told what kind of titration you are going to do, so whole thing doesn't make much sense.
