8H++3H2C2O4+6K2C2O4.H2O+K2Cr2O7
6CO2+9H2O+8K++2K3[Cr(C2O4)3].3H2O
The number of moles H2C2O4 :
= 5.02720 / (2+24+64)
=0.05636 mol
The number of moles K2Cr2O7
=1.8740 / 294
=0.00637 mol
The limiting reactant is K2Cr2O7
1 mol of K2Cr2O7 = 2 mol of K3[Cr(C2O4)3].3H2O
0.0637 mol K2Cr2O7 = 0.01274 mol of K3[Cr(C2O4)3].3H2O
Molar mass of K3[Cr(C2O4)3].3H2O =487
= 59.45 %
Discussion
In this experiment , we haves tudied how to synthesis
coordination compound . Coordination compound formed
when lewis acid that is cu2+ are reacted with lewis base that
is C2O4 and H2O.
Potassium dichromate , K2Cr2O7 dissoved slightly acid
solution , excess oxalic acid , H2C2O4 is added and the
following reactiion take place:
8H++3H2C2O4+6K2C2O4.H2O+K2Cr2O7
6CO2+9H2O+8K++2K3[Cr(C2O4)3].3H2O
Vigorouly orange solution was formed and filtered then
leaves for crystallization. Potassium oxalate , K2C2O4.H2O
was added . Dark green solution was formed and was
heated for five minutes.
After that we allowed the solution cool at room
temperature.The dark green crystal was was filtered and
washed with 1:1 ethanol/water and followed by 13 ml of
acetone. The mass of the dark green crystal obtained is
3.6887 g .The theoretical yield obtained is 6.20438 g.So the
percentage yield is 59.45 % .There is large different to
achieve 100% of theoretical yield.There maybe error occur
Conclusion
Potassium tri(oxalato)chromium(III)trihydrate ,
K3[Cr(C2O4)3].3H2O was synthesize.The actual mass
obtained was 3.6887 g while the theoretical yield obtained
was 6.20438 g . So the theoretical yield is 59.45 %
