# Magnetic susceptibility: Gouy balance template

![Magnetic susceptibility: Gouy balance template: A long tube of powdered complex hung from a balance with its lower end between the poles of an electromagnet, powered by a DC supply; the change in apparent mass gives the susceptibility.

A long tube of powdered complex hung from a balance with its lower end between the poles of an electromagnet, powered by a DC supply; the change in apparent mass gives the susceptibility. University inorganic labs (A-level / IB extension).

## What the template shows

- Weigh a sample with the magnetic field off and on to count its unpaired electrons
- Weigh with the field off, then on (constant current). Paramagnetic samples are pulled down into the field: apparent mass rises
- Gouy tube
- Packed evenly to a fixed mark with the finely ground sample, e.g. CuSO₄·5H₂O or [Ni(H₂O)₆]SO₄; top end out of the field
- Bottom of the sample in the strongest, even field between the poles
- Calibrate with a standard such as Hg[Co(SCN)₄]. χ from Δm; μeff = 2.83 √(χm T) μB ≈ √(n(n + 2)) for n unpaired electrons
- Reaction setup

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the Magnetic susceptibility: Gouy balance template free?

You can preview the Magnetic susceptibility: Gouy balance template here and open and edit it in MolDraw for free. Downloading or exporting it is part of MolDraw Pro, together with the other premium templates.

### Can I edit the Magnetic susceptibility: Gouy balance template?

Yes. It opens as an ordinary MolDraw drawing, so every structure, arrow, label and colour can be changed, and you can add your own content around it.

### Is the chemistry checked?

Every structure is checked with RDKit and every curly arrow passes MolDraw’s electron-flow audit. The sources used are listed on this page.

### Can I edit the glassware?

Yes. Every piece of glassware is a MolDraw apparatus object: move, resize, recolour the liquid or swap a piece and the joints stay connected.
