Analysis of Alum‚ AlK(SO4)2・12 H2O Partner: Cindy Date: Sep 15‚ 2011 Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to verify the identity of the alum by finding the properties of the substance; melting point and mole ratio of the water to the anhydrous. Every substance has unique characteristics which help to determine the identity of it. The actual values of the properties can be compared to the experimental values. In real life‚ this can be used to determine the unknown medicines. Hypothesis:

Alum Lab Conclusion The purpose of this laboratory was to use two different techniques to attempt to identify the melting point and the mole ratio of hydrated water to anhydrous aluminum‚ potassium‚ and sulfate of AlKSO4. The hypotheses were: if the alum was put in a capillary tube the melting point of alum will be able to be determined; and the water of hydration in alum crystals will be possible to determine if the alum is heated with a Bunsen burner.

Computer The. Analysis of Alum 158 After a compound has been synthesized‚ tests should be carried out to verify that the compound fonned is indeed the compound desired. There are a number of tests that can be perfonned to verify that the compound is the one desired. In Experiment 15A‚ you prepared alum crystals‚ KAl(S04)z·12H 20. In Experiment 15B‚ you will conduct a series of tests to detennine if your crystals are really alum. The first test is to find the melting temperature of the

Analysis of Alum AlK(SO4 )2 . 12H2O AP Chemistry Lab # 5 INTRODUCTION Every compound has a unique set of chemical and physical properties. To identify a compound with certainty‚ experiments have to be conducted in order to verify these properties. Such kind of analysis is usually performed when a compound is synthesized‚ and whether the compound is indeed the compound desired needs to be ascertained. The main purpose of the experiment is to analyze alum‚ AlK( SO4

In this lab‚ we will be analyzing alum by doing three different tests. The first will be to find the melting point‚ the second to find the amount of water in alum‚ and the third is to find the percent sulfate. We expect the values to be close to the actual.

Analysis of Alum AlK(SO4)2*12H2O: Determining the Melting Point and Water Hydration PreLab Questions: 1. When measuring the melting point‚ it is best to heat up the sample slowly so that the alum sample would be the same temperature as the water. The sample also needs time to melt. 2. 0.787g Na2CO3 1.336g H2O Moles of Na2CO3 = 0.787/106 = 0.00742moles Moles of H2O = 1.336/18 = 0.0742 Molar Ratio = 10 moles of H2O‚ 1 moles of Na2CO3 Abstract: The purpose

The purpose of the making alum from aluminum lab was to create alum from a series of chemical reactions involving aluminum. Small pieces of an aluminum can were cut and measured before being taken through a series of chemical reactions. This process involved filtering out waste product that was no longer needed in the reaction by using Whatman #4 filter paper and an aspirator. The first reaction that took place was placing aluminum pieces into the strong base NaOH and then heating it. This reaction
