Please help me =)
how to I get the grams of an unknown from titrating it against a primary standard?
you have to know something about the unknown, at least the molecular mass and how it is the reaction with the primary standard
All I know is that I collected a sample containing iron oxide. The sampled was .3545g 10mL of nanopure water, 10mL 12 M HCL, 2.0 M SnCl2 (this was done dropwise so I have no idea how much), .2M mercury (II) chloride, 100 mL of nanopure water and 10 mL 1:2 M H2SO4/16 M H3PO4. The primary standard was a stock solution with the concentration of 54.9278 g/L it was diluted to 250 mL of .018 M K2Cr2O7.
it took 27.91 M to do the titration
* mL
this is redox by the way
I am trying to figure out what is the reaction do you have a reference book o lab manual?
K2Cr2O7 it is your primary standard?
You want to determine the Fe concentration in your sample?
something like this experiment? http://staff.buffalostate.edu/nazareay/che112/chromate.htm
Cr2O72- + 6 Fe2+ + 14H+ → 2Cr3+ + 6 Fe3+ + 7H2O
All the Fe in the sample is first converted to Fe2+then the Fe2+ titrated by K2CrO72-
biily
yes that looks right but were did the K2 go in the overall reaction?
it is an spectator ion if you put Cr207k2 in the reactants you can add 2K+ in the products and it is not going to affect the 6e- exchange per mol of Cr207k2. And the same number of atoms and charge in both sides (26+) Cr2O7K2 + 6 Fe2+ + 14H+ → 2Cr3+ + 6 Fe3+ + 7H2O + 2K+
