Ignition of The Precipitate
PRECIPITATE:
THERMOGRAVIMETRIC
METHOD OF ANALYSIS
Water in precipitate :
(a)adsorbed water, present on al1 solid surfaces in amount
dependent on the humidity of the atmosphere;
(b)occluded water, present in solid solution or in cavities
within crystals;
(c)sorbed water, associated with substances having a large
interna1 surface development, e.g. hydrous oxides; and
(d)essential water, present as water of hydration or
crystallisation [e.g.CaC204,H20 or Mg(NH4)P04,6H20] or
as water of constitution
[the water is not present as such but is formed on
heating, e.g.
Ca(OH), +Ca0 + H20].
