Key Points: Estimation of Sulphur

Messengers Method, Carius Method, and Fusion Method are the three methods for sulphur estimation.

Carius Method for Sulphur:

  • A known mass ww gram of organic compound is heated with fuming HNO₃ or sodium peroxide (Na₂O₂) in a Carius tube → sulphur is oxidised to H₂SO₄.
  • In the presence of BaCl₂ solution, sulphur is precipitated as BaSO₄ → filtered, dried, and weighed.

\[\%S=\frac{32\times\text{wt of BaSO}_4\times100}{233\times\text{wt of organic compound}}=\frac{13.73\times\text{wt of BaSO}_4\mathrm{ppt}}{w}\]

  • 233 g BaSO₄ contains 32 g sulphur.
