Fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry: 8 th ed. Chapter 35 Chapter 35 35-1 Invalid sampling, loss of sample during weighing or dissolution, contamination by impurities in reagents, and changes in composition due to varying moisture content. 35-2 (a) Sorbed water is that held as a condensed liquid phase in the capillaries of a colloid. Adsorbed water is that retained by adsorption on the surface of a finely ground solid. Occluded water is that held in cavities distribute irregularly throughout a crystalline solid. (b) Water of crystallization is the water contained in a stable solid hydrate, such as BaCl22H2O. Water of constitution is water that is released from certain compounds when they are heated or otherwise dehydrated. For example Ba(OH)2(s) BaO(s) + H2O (c) Essential water is chemically bound water that occurs as an integral part of the molecular or crystalline structure of a compound in its solid state. Nonessential water is that retained by a solid as a consequence of physical forces. (d) A gross sample is a replica of the entire mass of material to be analyzed. It corresponds to the entire sample in both average chemical composition and also in particle size distribution. The laboratory sample is a homogeneous material whose chemical composition mimics that of the gross sample and, therefore, the population. 35-3 The particle size of a sample should be reduced before preparing a sample for laboratory analysis in order to obtain a homogeneous laboratory sample representative of the gross sample.

Chapter 35 35-4 Losses of volatile components as a result of heating, reaction with the atmosphere, changes in water content, losses as dust, and contamination due to mechanical wear and abrasion of the grinding surfaces.
