What is the number of water molecules bound per formula unit of KAlSO42?
KAl(SO4)2 is the formula unit found in alum. The formula of alum is KAl(SO4)2 .12H2O There are twelve water molecules present per formula unit, it is a sometimes called dodecahydrate.
What is the formula of fitkari?
Fitkari is the Hindi name for Alum, which is both a specific compound and a class of compounds. The specific compound is Hydrated Potassium Aluminium Sulphate (Potassium Alum) with the chemical formula KAl(SO4)2.12H2O.
Are the twelve waters of hydration used to calculate the theoretical yield of the alum?
Yes, 12H2O do count toward theoretical yield of alum, since it is an integral part of alum formula. Otherwise it would be just K-Al double sulfate, with different structure.
What is pseudo alum?
A pseudo alum is a double sulfate of the typical formula ASO4·B2(SO4)3·22H2O, where A is a divalent metal ion, such as cobalt (wupatkiite), manganese (apjohnite), magnesium (pickingerite) or iron (halotrichite or feather alum), and B is a trivalent metal ion. i.e. class of alums in which the usual monovalent metal of a true alum is replaced by a bivalent metal
