1.

Gather together: a test tube, a thermometer, a 10 mL graduated cylinder, a 400 mL beaker, and a 100mL beaker. Half-fill the 400 mL beaker with hot water from the kettle, then place it on a hot plate.

2.

You will be assigned a mass of KClO3 between 1 - 4 grams. Assigned mass: _____ g

3.

Stand the test tube in the 100 mL beaker. Place these on the scale together. Press the tare button.

4.

Use the funnel provided to add the desired mass of KClO3 into the tube (do not allow the funnel to touch the tube or otherwise affect the mass). If you spill any chemical, on the scale or in the beaker, brush it away before you take your final measurement. Your mass should be exact (within ± 0.02 g).

5.

Measure exactly 10 mL of distilled water in a graduated cylinder (adjust the volume using an eyedropper); add this to the tube. Ensure any solid clinging to the side of the tube is washed down to the bottom.

6.

Place the tube and contents in a hot water bath (i.e. the 400 mL beaker). Stir carefully with the thermometer until all the KClO3 has dissolved. Do not heat the tube beyond the point where all the solid is dissolved.

7.

Lift the test tube out of the water bath (use paper towel to hold the tube if it is too hot). Allow the solution to cool slowly, stirring occasionally with the thermometer. If several minutes have passed and you do not see any precipitate form, run cool tap water on the outside of the tube to cool it down faster. Note the temperature at which the first crystals of KClO3 come out of solution: ______°C.

8.

Repeat step 7 (reheat, and then re-crystallize, the KClO3) at least once more to confirm your temperature value. Subsequent readings will be more accurate because you will know what to look for.

9.

Wash the KClO3 down the sink and clean out the test tube. Rinse and return all equipment.

10.

Give your temperature value (along with the mass of KClO3 used) to your teacher.

Is there a different between potassium oxalate and potassium acid oxalate?

sorrel salt: potassium hydrogen oxalate or potassium hydrogen oxalate, KHC2O4 (sal acetosella, salt of lemon). Here only one 'H' is replaced with 'K' in oxalic acid to get HOOC-COOK. Potassium oxalate is KOOC-COOK.

Why you use oxalate potassium in formol titration?

In formol titration, amino acids with formaldehyde are titrated with NaOH to measure the amount of amino acids in the solution. Potassium is also necessary for this titration and is supplied by using potassium oxalate. If calcium is present, it will react with the NaOH to form Ca(OH)2. This will make it appear to need more of the NaOH solution (and overestimate the titration). Potassium oxalate will chelate the calcium, and prevent it from reacting (forming calcium oxalate).


When KOH reacts with H2C2O4 what are the products?

What is the balanced chemical equation for Cobalt II chloride and potassium oxalate?

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between cobalt(II) chloride and potassium oxalate is: CoCl2 + K2C2O4 -> CoC2O4 + 2KCl, where cobalt(II) chloride reacts with potassium oxalate to form cobalt(II) oxalate and potassium chloride.


Why potassium oxalate is used in protein titration?

Potassium oxalate is used in protein titration to precipitate proteins by forming insoluble calcium oxalate complexes. This allows for the precise determination of protein concentration in a sample, as the protein content can be quantified by measuring the decrease in calcium concentration caused by the formation of the calcium oxalate complexes.
