AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the preparation of NKBT Perovskite material with the formula (Na0.5 K0.5)0.5 (Bi)0.5 TiO3. The user seeks guidance on the correct method for calculating the required amounts of starting powders—NaNO3, KNO3, Bi(NO3)3.5H2O, and TiO2—based on stoichiometry. Key questions include whether to work in weight percent or mole percent and the validity of their calculation method for determining the grams of NaNO3 needed for a 5-gram total sample. Responses confirm that the approach of calculating molar ratios first and then converting to weight ratios using molar masses is appropriate, and the user's method for calculating the grams of NaNO3 appears correct. Overall, the emphasis is on accurate measurement and conversion for the synthesis process.

hello forum
I am working on NKBT Perovskite material.My formula is (Na0.5 K0.5)0.5 (Bi)0.5 TiO3
I am using NaNo3,KNO3,Bi(NO3)3.5H2O,TiO2 powders
my question is how much powder in grams I have to take according to stichometry.
Do I have to work in wt% or in Mole %.
is there any difference?
I am using this method
NaNO3 in Grms = molecular wt of NaNO3*no.of moles of NaNO3*5(i want to make 5 grms of total sample)/total molecular weight of compound.
Is this correct?
please reply.
actuall I am a physics major.

To prepare the mix you have to convert everything to grams, there is no other reasonable way to measure amount of the solid than to weight it.

Calculate molar ratio first, then convert it to weight ratio using molar masses of the compounds used.
 
thank you for reply
so is my method is correct? or wrong?
can I proceed in the same way?

Looks OK to me.

Thread 'How to make Sodium Chlorate by Electrolysis of salt water?'

I have a power supply for electrolysis of salt water brine, variable 3v to 6v up to 30 amps. Cathode is stainless steel, anode is carbon rods. Carbon rod surface area 42" sq. the Stainless steel cathode should be 21" sq. Salt is pure 100% salt dissolved into distilled water. I have been making saturated salt wrong. Today I learn saturated salt is, dissolve pure salt into 150°f water cool to 100°f pour into the 2 gallon brine tank. I find conflicting information about brine tank...
