Steps A - D potassium trioxalato ferrate tri hydrate Flashcards
what are the three phases of a synthesis
- reaction
- workup
- characterization
describe the three phases of a synthesis
reaction
- identifying what parameters need to meet to have a successful experiment (like what are the reactants, what solvent is needed?)
workup
- some way to isolate the desired product from biproducts present
characterization
- qualitative and quantitative analysis to determine if we have made the correct product and HOW much
what is the limiting reagent in
2 H2 + O2 —> 2 H2O
oxygen is the limiting reagent
what is the chemical formula for ferrous oxalate hydrate
FeC2O4 x H2O
what colour is ferrous oxalate hydrate
yellow
what is an intermediate to the complex salt
ferrous oxalate hydrate
what is the formula for potassium trioxalato ferrate (iii) trihydrate
proper technique for diluting 18 M H2SO4 to 100 ml 3M H2SO4
v1c1 = v2c2
(0.1L)(3M) = x(18M)
V2 = 0.017 ml
is oxalic acid a liquid or solid under normal lab conditions
solid
is this reaction a reduction or oxidation
reduction (Mn)4 is gaining electrons)
how to calculate theoretical yield
actual yield from experiment / theoretical yield from product produced based on limiting reagent
what is the end point colour change of the permanganate-oxalate reaction
dark purple to light pink
why is potassium permanganate handled carefully
will leave brown spots on clothes or skin AND can irritate skin and eyes
what is the catalyst used in the permanganate-oxalate reaction
manganous ion (Mn2+)
what are the colour of the crystals in the final product
green
why did we analyze the final crystals
to determine the percent composition of each element in the crystals
what was the first step of preparing the Ferrous Oxalate (PART A)
quantitatively transferring the ferrous ammonium sulfate to a beaker charged with 25 ml of warm water and acidified with 20 drops of 3 M H2So4
what is the formula for Ferrous Ammonium Sulfate
how was the mass of Ferrous Ammonium Sulfate used determined (PART A)
after transferring to the prepared beaker the vial was rinsed with small amount of RO water and dumped into beaker
AFTER the vial was washed with acetone to evaporate the water and weighted
Subtract the vial with crystals from vial without
how was oxalic acid prepared (PART A)
2.5 grams of the oxalic acid with 25 ml of RO water
what do oxalic acid crystals need to fully dissolve (PART A)
gentle heating
where was the oxalic acid added (PART A)
to the Ferrous Ammonium solution
what was done once the oxalic acid was added to the ferrous ammonium solution (PART A)
the combined solution was brought to a gentle boil while stirring CONTINUOUSLY
what happens as the oxalic acid and ferrous ammonium solution was heated (PART A)
the precipitate at the bottom goes from a dark orange colour to more yellow as more ferrous oxalic forms
describe the steps of part A when the Buchner funnel was used
the clear supernatant liquid was decanted with a vacuum filtration system
the precipitate was washed with 25 ml of hot water and decanted again (discarding the liquid but keeping the solid)
third wash again with 25mL of hot RO water and transfer the ENTIRE precipitate to the filter paper in the Buchner funnel
final rinse with 25 ml of acetone
what was the LAST step in the preparation of the ferrous oxalate intermediate (PART A)
transferring the dry yellow crystals to a weighted 250 ml beaker and letting sit for the week
what was the objective of part A
aims to synthesize the intermediate compound (ferrous oxalate dihydrate) by heated combination of ferrous ammonium sulfate hexahydrate and oxalic acid dihydrate undergoing filtration with a vacuum apparatus
is potassium permanganate an oxidizing agent or reducing agent
oxidizing agent
is potassium permanganate reduced or oxidized in a reaction
reduced
what is the formula for potassium permanganate
KMnO4
what does potassium permanganate look liked reduced in BASIC OR NEUTRAL conditions
mixture of products results including SOLID MnO2 and green Manganate ion MNO4
what does potassium permanganate look like reduced in ACDICI conditions (half reaction)
what was the molarity of the potassium permanganate solution produced
0.02 M
what are safety precautions for bisulfite cleaning solution
irritant to the respiratory tract, eyes, mucous membranes and skin
how can the bisulfite cleaning solution be discarded
down the sink with lots of water
how much potassium permanganate was initially weighed to form 0.02 M solution
1.2 to 1.4 grams
what colour is potassium permanganate
black powder
what was the weighted potassium permanganate added to
a 600 ml beaker with 300 to 323 ml of water
what was done once the potassium permanganate was added to the water
heated to a gentle rolling boil
what was done once the potassium permanganate solution was heated to a gentle boil (FIRST TIME)
let sit with watch glass over and cool for FIVE minutes
what was done after the potassium permanganate solution was cooled
reheated to a gentle boil
what was done with the potassium permanganate solution after both boils and cooled
