AIM: To prepare Mohr’s salt AIM: To prepare Mohr’s salt

MATERIALS REQUIRED : Conical flask, Tripod stand, Burner,


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.

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.

AIM: To prepare potash alum AIM: To prepare potash alum
DRAW THE FOLLOWING DIAGRAM : MATERIALS REQUIRED : Conical flask, Tripod stand, Burner,
Funnel ,Watch glass, Glass rod, Filter paper, Wire gauze,
China dish, Aluminium sulphate, Potassium sulphate,
Dilute Sulphuric acid.

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.
