Aim
Dimethylglyoxime
Chemicals
• HCL(5mol/dm3)
Method
• Weigh out using an electric balance roughly 0.3-0.4g on the nickel salt
(0.304g)
• Place the salt into a 400 ml beaker, with a glass stirrer and glass watch
glass
• Heat the solution on a hot plate with a magnetic stirrer to around 70-80oC
then add a slight excess of dimethylglyoxime reagent ~35ml
Gordon Forsyth
• Add immediately dilute ammonia dropwise till the precipate has formed
then add some excess
• Heat the precipitate and solution till the precipitate has settled
• Then from suction filtration, filtrate the precipitate from the solution
• Continue to wash the precipitate till it is chloride free (test by testing the
“washings” with silver nitrate continue to wash the precipitate till the test
for chloride is negative)

Error Calculation:- theoretical value of nickel produced in 395g of salt = 14.86%,
actual value of nickel produced in 0.3511g on salt is 14.24%
Error
Experimental-theoretical/experimental x100
=4.2%
Conclusion/Discussion
During this experiment errors are inevitably, errors can be in weighing and
reading errors when measuring out reactants etc. Also not adding enough to
form a full precipitate also not getting all the precipitate out and measured.
