Advanced Inorganic Lab

The experiment 'The One-Pot Iron Reaction' explores iron's complex-formation and oxidation-reduction chemistry through a series of reagent additions to a FeSO4 solution, resulting in various observable color changes and precipitates. Chemicals used include Sodium Citrate, NaOH, H2O2, and others, with specific reactions leading to distinct outcomes such as light yellow, green precipitate, and blood red coloration. The experiment effectively illustrates the versatile chemistry of iron across different oxidation states and complex ions.

Advanced Inorganic Lab (CY49203)

Experiment No. 1B

NAME: Soumya Maity ROLL NO.: 25CY40046

NAME OF THE EXPERIMENT: The One-Pot Iron Reaction

INTRODUCTION: This experiment, "The Iron One-Pot Reaction," demonstrates various


chemical concepts related to iron, specifically its complex-formation and oxidation-
reduction chemistry

FeSO4 solution, to which a series of reagents are added, each eliciting a distinct chemical
change and observable outcome. These reactions showcase the transformation of iron
through different oxidation states and complex ions, resulting in a variety of colors and
precipitates. Each step in this one-pot reaction provides a visual and chemical illustration of
the versatile chemistry of iron.

CHEMICALS USED: Sodium Citrate, NaOH, 3% H2 O2, HCl, Sodium Salicylate, H2SO4, KSCN,
SnCl2, K4Fe(CN)6, H2O2, Na2S, NaOH.

PROCEDURE: A 250 ml 0.1 M FeSO4 Solution is made. Then 5 ml of the following


solutions are added one by one to a 250 ml beaker containing 0.1 M FeSO4 Solution.

1) Add 5 ml of 0.1 M Sodium Citrate .

2) Then added 5 ml of 0.1 M NaOH ,

3) Then added 5 ml of 3% H2O2

4) Then added 5 ml of 0.1 M HCl

5) Then added 5 ml of 0.1 M Sodium Salicylate

6) Then added 5 ml of 0.1 M H2SO4

7) Then added 5 ml of 0.1 M KSCN

8) Then added 5 ml of 0.1 M SnCl2

9) Then added 5 ml of 0.1 M K4 Fe(CN)6

10) Then added 5 ml of 3% H2O2


11) Then added 5 ml of 0.1 M NaOH

12) Then added 5 ml of 0.1 M Na2S

RESULTS AND OBSERVATIONS:

Step 1 – Light Yellow coloration due to formation of Fe(C6H5O7)

Step 2 – Green precipitate due to formation of Fe(OH)2

Step 3 – Reddish Coloration due to formation of Fe(OH)3

Step 4 – Yellow colored soln. brown due to formation of FeCl4- complex ion

Step 5 – Purple colored soln. due to formation of Fe(C7 H5 O3 )2+ complex

Step 6 – Light brown colored soln. due to formation of Fe3+ ion

Step 7 – Blood red coloration due to formation of Fe(SCN)2+ complex

Step 8 – No change in colour .

Step 9 – Prussian blue soln. due to formation of Fe2 [Fe(CN)6 ] complex

Step 10 – Prussian blue soln. due to formation of Fe4 [Fe(CN)6 ]3 complex

Step 11 – Reddish Coloration due to formation of Fe(OH)3

Step 12 – Greenish black coloration due to formation of FeS solid
