OBJEKTIF
To prepare copper(ii) oxalate complexes

PROCEDURE
1) 2.00 g copper(II) sulphate pentahydrate was weighed and added it to 30ml of H2O in
small beaker.
2) Heat slowly on hot plate until solid dissolved.
3) 6.20 g of potassium oxalate monohydrate was weighed and putted in another small
beaker and dissolved with 30-40ml distilled H2 O at room temperature.
4) The heated copper(II) sulphate added slowly to the potassium oxalate solution used
funnel and swirling the beaker slowly to mix.
5) Chilled in ice bath for 30 minutes.
6) Blue crystals precipitate produced after cooling.
7) The complex collected using suction filtration and the crystals was washed twice with
3ml portions of cold water.
8) Crystals dried in oven.
9) Determine the percentage yield.
RESULTS

Balance chemical equation


CuSO4.5H2O + 2K2C2O4.H2O  K2[Cu(C2O4)2(H2O)2] + K2SO4 + 5H2O
Molar mass CuSO4.5H2O = [63.546+32.066+(16 x 4)] + 5[2+16]
= 159.612
Molar mass K2C2O4.H2O = [39.098(2) +12.011(2) + 16(4)] + 18
= [78.196 + 24.022 + 64] + 18
= 184.218
Number mole of CuSO4.5H2O = 2.00 g / 159.612
= 0.013 mol
Number mole of K2C2O4.H2O = 6.20 g / 184.218
= 0.034 mol

Therefore, the limiting reactant is CuSO4.5H2O


1 mol of CuSO4.5H2O = 1 mol of K2[Cu(C2O4)2(H2O)2]
0.013 mol of CuSO4.5H2O = 0.013 mol of K2[Cu(C2O4)2(H2O)2]
Molar mass of K2[Cu(C2O4)2(H2O)2] = 39.098(2) + [ 63.546 + (12.011(2) + 16(4))(2) + 18(2)]
= 353.786 g/mol
Theoretical yield of K2[Cu(C2O4)2(H2O)2] = 353.786 g/mol x 0.013 mol
= 4.60g
Mass of K2[Cu(C2O4)2(H2O)2] = 1.67 g
Percentage yield of K2[Cu(C2O4)2(H2O)2] = (1.67 g / 4.60 g)x 100%
= 36.30%
DISCUSSION
Transition metals have a distinct tendency to form complex ions. Complex ions can be defined
as an containing a central metal cation bonded to one or more molecules or ions. Coordination
compound typically consists of a complex and a counter ion. Copper(II) oxalate complexes,
CuSO4.5H2O was formed when Copper(II) sulphate pentahydrate ,K2C2O4.H2O was reacted with
potassium oxalate monohydrate. By using funnel, heated copper(II)sulphate was added into
potassium oxalate solution and the flask was swirled. Cooled the solution by an ice bath and
obtain the crystal blue precipitate by suction filtration. The crystal was dried int he oven and
mass of copper(II) oxalates complexes was obtained. The mass of copper(II) oxalates complexes
is 1.7262 g, theoretical yield of copper(II) oxalates complexes is 4.6 g and the percentage yield is
37.53%There maybe error occur when we are doing an experiment because of that we don’t get
100% percentage yield of copper(II) oxalates complexes .So there is some precaution that we
must take care while we are doing an experiment .First we need to make sure our conical flask is
cleaned before we are using it, this is important because there may be left other substance left
in the conical flask and cause our product was contaminated. We need to wear gloves while
handling concentrated solution because when the chemical is absorbed to our skin it can cause
severe damage. When the gloves had in contact with the chemical reagent, remove them, wash
our hand and immediately geta new pair of gloves. It is because gloves are only temporary
protection against chemical regents and maybe permeable to other some chemical reagents
without visible deterioration

CONCLUSION
Copper(II) oxalate complexes, of K2[Cu(C2O4)2(H2O)2] was prepared. The theoretical yield was
4.6g while the mass obtained was 1.67g and the percentage yield was 36.30%.
