EXPERIMENT 4A: Synthesis of an Iron(III)-Oxalate Complex: To begin, a filtering crucible was washed, labeled, and dried in an oven for one hour. While the experiment was performed, the filtering crucible was set-aside in a desiccator to cool and stay dry. After this was done, a mass of about 1.2 g (±0.2 g) of iron(II) ammonium sulfate hydrated salt (Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2 ∙ 6H2O) was measured and recorded. It was then placed in a 50-mL beaker with 3 mL of deionized water and 1-3 drops of 6M sulfuric acid. The beaker was then swirled until all of the salt particles dissolved. Then, about 6 mL of 1 M oxalic acid was added to the solution in the 50-mL beaker. At this point, the pH was checked to ensure that solution was acidic. If it wasn’t acidic, then an addition of 6 M sulfuric acid may have been needed. This solution was then gently boiled, with boiling chips, for about five minutes to break down the precipitate. While the solution boiled, it was essential to swirl the solution. Once the solution had cooled down, the supernatant was decanted and put in a waste beaker, and the precipitate was washed with clean, hot deionized water. This precipitate was rinsed three times. The supernatant and wash solution wastes were then thrown away in waste containers. Then, 3.5 mL of 1.7 M potassium oxalate solution were added to the beaker with the rinsed precipitate. This solution was warmed to about 40℃ and it was constantly stirred. The solution was then removed from the Bunsen burner, and
In this experiment, it is very important to ensure that the deionized water is just basic and not acidic in order to obtain accurate results. Calcium oxalate does not precipitate in an acidic solution because of the formation of H2C2O4-, an ion that does not precipitate with Ca2+ . Allowing the precipitate to settle is also very
As a group, we obtained our salt mixture of calcium chloride and potassium oxalate, and weighed the mixture. We were able to make an aqueous solution from the mixture and distilled water. We boiled and filtered off the solution, leaving the precipitate. Once the precipitate was dried overnight, it was weighed and the mass was measured. Then we calculated the moles of the precipitate.
A 0.5 g of sodium tungstate dihydrate was weighed and transferred into a 50-mL round-bottom flask with a magnetic stir bar. Approximately 0.6mL of Aliquat 336 was then transferred carefully into the round bottom flask using a 1mL syringe. The round bottom flask and its contents were then set up in an oil bath. 11mL of 30% hydrogen peroxide and 0.37 g of potassium bisulphate were added to the reaction mixture in the round bottom flask and stirred using a magnetic stirrer. Lastly, 2.5mL of cyclohexene was added using automatic dispenser and the mixture stirred. A condenser was fitted on the round bottom flask, clamped and attached to water horses. The reaction mixture was then heated on the oil bath and the reflux process initiated for an hour while stirring the mixture vigorously. Half way while rinsing, any trapped cyclohexene in the condenser was rinsed. After 1 hour, the round bottom flask was rinsed
In reference to the analysis of anions, Table 1 shows that a precipitate was formed when our unknown was combined with HNO3 and AgNO3, thus indicating the presence of a chloride ion. Because our unknown did not form a precipitate due to HCl and BaCl2, separate, effervesce, or smell, we concluded that neither sulfate, nitrate, carbonate nor
The mixture was heated at 120°C using an aluminum block and was stirred gently. After all of the solid dissolved, it was heated for 20 additional minutes to ensure the reaction was complete.
Experimental Method: A filtration apparatus was set up. Solid iron(III) chloride hexahydrate was dissolved in water. In a separate container, sodium acetate trihydrate (NaC2H3O2 x 3 H2O) was also dissolved in water. Sodium acetate trihydrate was then added to iron(III) chloride. 2, 4-pentanedione (C5H8O2) was dissolved in methanol; it was then added to the iron(III) chloride/sodium acetate solution. The product of this mixture was filtered, and the precipitate
Solutions of 6M H2SO4, 6M NH3, 6M HCl, 6M NaOH, and 1.0 M of NaCl, 1M Fe(NO3)3, 1M NiSO4, 1M AgNO3, 1M KSCN, 1M Ba(NO3)2, and 1M Cu(NO3)2 were given in separate test tubes. The color of possible precipitates, ions, acid-base behaviour, odor and solubility rules were conducted and were reported in Table 1. The key information about a mixture of two solutions was
The powdered cobalt oxalate hydrate was weighed to about 0.3 g and placed in a pre-weighed crucible. The crucible and the cobalt oxalate were then heated until the cobalt oxalate decomposed into a stable, black solid, or Co3O4. Once the crucible was sufficiently
Seven test tubes were labeled numerically with 2 mL of VO3- and H2SO42- added to each tube. A small pea size portion of solid Na2SO3 was added to the first test tube. Then, 20 drops of distilled water were added to the second test tube. In the third test tube, 20 drops of (.2 M) NaBr were added. Then, to drops of (.2 M) NaNO2 were added into the fourth test tube. A small portion of Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2 * 6H2O was added into the fifth test tube. The sixth test tube had 20 drops of (.2 M) H2Cr2O4 added, where the seventh test tube was the control tube with no additional chemicals added. All the test tubes were left to react for 3 minutes and then heated in a heated bath for approximately 20 minutes.
The organic layer on the top formed, and was also extracted out through vacuum filtration like the step before. The solid that was produced from the reaction was bright yellow in color. It then was set out to dry for a week, and worked on the next experiment time. After setting the solid aside, the original solution that was still in the separatory funnel, 14 mL of 10% NaOH was added. The aqueous layer was then again separated into a separate flask. This same step was repeated twice more. The aqueous solution that formed was then cooled in an ice-bath. Concentrated HCl was then added until a pH reading of 1 was reached making it an acidic solution. This took 13 mL of HCl to reach the adequate pH. Another precipitate formed from this process, and it was extracted through vacuum filtration. The solid precipitate that was formed was a cloudy white color. It also, was set out to dry for a week until the next experiment time.With the remaining solution in the separatory flask, CaCl2 (a drying agent, which helps dry the precipitate that was filtered out so that no extra liquid will be left over 5), was added. This solution was boiled over a steam bath until no bubbles were present, and left to dry
The first reaction involves pyrite rock reacting with oxygen (air) and water to produce dissolved ferrous iron, sulfate, and acidity. The second reaction oxidizes the dissolved ferrous iron in acidic conditions and produces ferric iron and water. The third reaction involves the hydrolysis of the ferric iron to form ferric hydroxide and more acid. The ferric hydroxide is the orangey-red colored solid you see in the water (Juniata College).
Place 100 ml of distilled water in a 250-ml (or 400-ml) beaker. Add 1.26g of oxalic acid dihydrate (H2C2O4.2H2O) and 1 ml of concentrated ammonia. Stir the mixture until the solid has dissolved completely.
The lab performed required the use of quantitative and analytical analysis along with limiting reagent analysis. The reaction of Copper (II) Sulfate, CuSO4, mass of 7.0015g with 2.0095g Fe or iron powder produced a solid precipitate of copper while the solution remained the blue color. Through this the appropriate reaction had to be determined out of the two possibilities. Through the use of a vacuum filtration system the mass of Cu was found to be 2.1726g which meant that through limiting reagent analysis Fe was determined to be the limiting reagent and the chemical reaction was determined to be as following:-
1. 10 drops of 1 M K2CrO4 was added to the solution and stirred for about 10 minutes.
Iron (as Fe2+) concentrations of 40 μg/litre can be detected by taste in distilled water. In a mineralized spring water with a total dissolved solids content of 500 mg/litre, the taste threshold value was 0.12 mg/litre. In well-water, iron concentrations below 0.3 mg/litre were characterized as unnoticeable, whereas levels of 0.3–3 mg/litre were found acceptable
