EXPERIMENT NUMBER: .. Determination of Water of Crystallisation in Feso - XH O

This experiment aims to determine the value of x in the hydrated salt FeSO4•xH2O using two methods: gravimetric analysis and redox titration. The student is asked to write the half reactions for the redox titration and predict which method will be more accurate. Data will be collected from both methods and used to calculate the value of x, which should be 7 based on expectations. The student must then assess the accuracy of their results and discuss any sources of error or assumptions made.

DETERMINATION OF WATER OF CRYSTALLISATION IN FeSO4•xH2O


INTRODUCTION:
The aim of this experiment is to find the value of x in the hydrated salt, FeSO4•xH2O, using
two methods – gravimetric analysis and a redox titration. The accuracy of the two
methods is to be evaluated at the end of the experiment.

BACKGROUND:
1. Write the relevant half-equations for the reaction occurring in the redox titration and
thus the overall equation for the reaction.

Chemical/Apparatus Hazard Risk Precaution
Method II – Redox Titration
1. Pipette 25.0 cm3 of the solution of iron(II) sulphate into a conical flask and add
approximately 10.0 cm3 of the 2 mol dm-3 H2SO4(aq) (OR 20.0 cm3 of the 1 mol dm-3 H2SO4(aq) )
solution provided.
2. Titrate the acidified Fe2+(aq) solution with 0.0100 mol dm-3 potassium permanganate,

KMnO4(aq).
3. Repeat the titration until concordant results are obtained.

DATA:
Design tables to collect the data

Method II – Redox Titration


ANALYSIS:
− Use your results to calculate the value of x in the hydrated iron(II) sulfate.
− The expected value for x is 7.
− Assess the accuracy of your answer based on the expected value.
DISCUSSION:
Questions to guide the discussion and conclusion:
● What could have caused the value you calculated in each method to differ from the expected value?
● What assumptions did you make in your analysis?
● Which method was better to determine the value of x?
Justify your answer with data.
