Title : Determination Of nickel By Gravimetric Analysis

Objective : To determine the weight percent of nickel by gravimetric analysis.

Mass Two – decimal balance(g) Analytical balance(g)

Empty beaker 104.93 105.0906
Beaker + NiSO4(NH4)2SO46H2O 105.27 105.4349
NiSO4(NH4)2SO46H2O 0.34 0.3443
Empty sintered glass crucible 52.16 52.2405
Sintered glass 1st reading 52.39 52.4758
crucible + Ni 2nd reading 52.40 52.4756
complex Average 52.40 52.4757
Ni complex 0.24 0.2352
Result & Calculation:

(Table 6.1 Gravimetric determination of Ni complex in NiSO4 (NH4)2SO46H2O)

Weight percent = weight of Ni complex ×100 %

weight of NiSO4 (NH4 )2SO46H2O
0 . 2352
= ×100 %
0 . 3443
=68 . 31 %

Conclusion : The weight percent of nickel in nickel ammonium sulphate is 68.31%
