Question
A 0.8965 g sample is dissolved in HNO; and filtered. The aluminum is present in solution
as AP. The solution is made basic with ammonium hydroxide, NH.OH, and the aluminum hydroxide,
Al(OH): (FW 78.004), precipitates. This gel is filtered in a porous glass crucible, rinsed with dilute
ammonium hydroxide, ignited, cooled in a desiccator, and weighed. The resulting alumina, Al:O: (FW
101.94), weighed 0.1605 g.
Why is the solution filtered after acid dissolution?
• Why rinse with ammonium hydroxide solution?
• What chemical transformation takes place during ignition? (Show the balanced chemical
equation)
Why use a desiccator during cooling?
• Calculate the weight percent Al (AW 26.9815) in the sample.
