RESULTS

Mass of filter paper (g) 1.047


Mass of ammonium iron(II) sulphate (g) 1.253

trioxalatoferrate(III) (g)
Mass of potassium trioxalatoferrate (g) 0.736

Calculation

Number of moles of Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2.6H2O = Mass Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2.6H2O / Molar mass of


Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2.6H2O
= (1.253 g) / (392.14 g/mol)
= 0.003195 mol

Based on the equation, 1 mol of Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2.6H2O produces 1 mol of K3[Fe(C2O4)3]


Hence,
Mass of K3[Fe(C2O4)3] = Number of moles of K3[Fe(C2O4)3] x Mass of K3[Fe(C2O4)3]
= 0.003195 mol x 437.20 g/mol
= 1.4 g

Percentage yield = (Actual yield) / (Theoretical yield)


= (0.736 g) / (1.4 g) x 100%
= 52.6 %
