Question
Why is it essential to wash the precipitate with water before estimating it quantitatively?
Solution
Answer:
When a colloidal solution is prepared, quite often it contains certain impurities of electrolytes which are crystalloidal in nature and tend to destabilize the solution. Hence it is essential to wash the precipitate with water before estimating it quantitatively to remove impurities of electrolytes.
