7.0 A precipitating agent plays an
important role in this experiment because
the determination of the substance is
dependent on the mass of the sample. The
objective of this experiment is to determine
the %SO3 by Gravimetry and also to
familiarize students with the Gravimetry
method of analysis.

31.0 The hot crucible is placed on
Al foil-covered wire gauze to avoid melting
of the paint and was placed again inside a
beaker with watch glass to prevent
absorption of impurities. Before putting into
the desiccator, the porcelain crucible should
not be too hot because it will vacuum the air
inside and will cause difficulty in opening the
desiccator. After 20 minutes, the crucible
was weighed in an analytical balance. The
balance should be wiped first and press the
tare button to ensure the accuracy of the
mass.

B. %SO3 Determination
51.0 A 0.5212 g and 0.5236 g of
the sample were weighed and dissolved to
distilled water with 6M HCl. The HCl will
help lower the ph of the solution which will
increase the solubility of the sulfate sample
and will inhibit the formation of BaCO3
precipitate to yield more BaSO 4 precipitate.
A 200 mL of BaCl2 solution was prepared for
each of the sample, this serves as the
precipitating agent. The hot BaCl2 solution
was added to the hot sulfate sample
solution because the solubility increases as
the temperature increases. The BaCl2
solution was added in excess to favor the
formation of the BaSO4 crystalline
precipitate. Stirring is very important to
(http://ww2.chemistry.gatech.edu/,
n.d.).
Ignition is when a substance undergoes
complete combustion and chemical change.
Ignition is more preferred because it is
faster and more efficient than drying. The
ignition is already done if the product looks
like shown in the picture below.
