This document provides procedures for preparing two compounds:
1) Mohr's salt by mixing ferrous sulfate and ammonium sulfate in dilute sulfuric acid, heating the solution to crystallization, then collecting and drying the crystals.
2) Potash alum by dissolving aluminum sulfate and potassium sulfate in water, acidifying, heating the mixed solution to crystallization, then collecting, washing, and drying the crystals. Precautions are listed to obtain good crystal quality and avoid overheating during preparation.

DRAW THE FOLLOWING DIAGRAM : Funnel ,Watch glass, Glass rod, Filter paper, Wire gauze, China dish, Ferrous Sulphate. Ammonium Sulphate., Dilute Sulphuric acid.
PROCEDURE :
1. Weigh 7g of Ferrous Sulphate and 3.5g of Ammonium
Sulphate separately. 2. Mix Ferrous Sulphate and Ammonium Sulphate in water in a beaker containing dilute sulphuric acid. 3. Gently warm the solution in order to get a clear solution. 4. Filter the solution in order to remove suspended impurities and concentrate the clear filtrate by heating it china dish over a sand bath till the crystallization point is reached. 5. Stir the solution occasionally during heating. 6. Keep the solution undisturbed for slow cooling. After some time crystal of ferrous ammonium sulfate will get separated from the solution. 7. Separate the crystals by decantation from the mother liquor and wash the crystals with cold water. 8. Dry the crystals between the folds of filter paper or by spreading on a porous plate. BLANK PAGE LINE SIDE
PRECAUTIONS :
1. Allow slow cooling and do not disturb the solution
during cooling in order to get good quality crystals. 2. During the process heating of the solution should be done in a short time only. Because prolonged heating forms ferric ions along with ferrous ammonium sulphate. 3. Suppose if the solution is yellow instead of green the experiment should be repeated. BLANK PAGE LINE SIDE EXPT.

PROCEDURE :
1. Weigh 12.5g of potassium sulfate and dissolved in
a minimum quantity of distilled water in a beaker. Stir to dissolve the crystals. 2. Take a conical flask, in that dissolve 50g of aluminium sulfate in warm water and add 3ml of dilute sulphuric acid to make the solution clear. 3. Filter the solutions if it is not clear. 4. Mix the two clear solutions in a china dish. 5. Place the china dish on a wire gauze over a burner. 6. Stir the solution and concentrate the solution till the crystallization point is reached. 7. Place the solution over a beaker containing cold water for a few hours. 8. Crystals of potash alum will get separated, filter then from the mother liquor and wash them with a small quantity of cold water. 9. Dry the crystals by pressing gently between the folds of the filter paper. 10. Weigh them on the chemical balance to know the yield. BLANK PAGE LINE SIDE
