DATA FROM EXPERIMENT:
MASS OF WEIGHING PAPER = 0.3670 g
MASS OF WEIGHING PAPER + Al FOIL = 1.0000 g
MASS OF ALUM FOIL (NET WEIGHT OF ALUM) = 0.6330 g
MASS OF EMPTY 50 mL BEAKER = 29.3380 g
MASS OF BEAKER + ALUM CRYSTALS = 39.8840 g
MASS OF ALUM (NET WEIGHT OF ALUM) = 10.5460 g
we added about 35 mL of de-ionized water and 12mL of 6M KOHsolution to the beaker. I converted the molarity to moles and got6M KOH (.012 L) = .072 mol KOH
When metallic aluminum comes into contact with aqueous solutions ofstrong bases like potassium hydroxide, KOH, it reacts to formhydrogen gas and a salt containing both aluminum and potassiumions.
2 Al (s) + 2 KOH (aq) + 6 H2O (l) ? 2 KAl(OH)4 (aq) + 3 H2(g)
This salt, KAl(OH)4, is soluble in solutions of strong acids, suchas sulfuric acid, H2 SO4, and reacts to form aluminum hydroxide,Al(OH)3, and potassium sulfate, K2 SO4.
2 KAl(OH)4 (aq) + H2 SO4 (aq) ? 2 Al(OH)3 (s) + K2 SO4 (aq) + 2 H2O(l)
Excess sulfuric acid is required to dissolve the Al(OH)3, and toform aluminum sulfate, Al2 (SO4)3.
2 Al(OH)3 (s) + 3 H2 SO4 (aq) ? Al2 (SO4)3 (aq) + 6 H2O (l)
As this solution is cooled, the aluminum and potassium sulfatesalts crystallize out of the solution as the alum. The equationbelow shows only the ions and the water involved in thecrystallization process.
K+ (aq) + Al3+ (aq) + 2 SO4 2- (aq) + 12 H2O (l) ? KAl(SO4)2 * 12H2O (s)
MY QUESTION IS.. I DONT KNOW WHICH EQUATION TO USE TO CALCULATE THEPERCENT YIELD. SHOULD IT BE THE FIRST ONE SINCE IT IS BEFORE ANY OFTHE PROCEDURE WAS DONE? BUT FROM THE FIRST EQUATION, IT DID NOTPRODUCE THE ALUM CRYSTALS YET : KAl(SO4)2 * 12H20
EQUATION FOR PERCENT YIELD:
100 % x [mass of actual yield / mass of theoretical yield]
