Document Summary

The initial mass of aluminum is required to calculate the theoretical yield: add koh solution into a beaker over a hotplate containing the aluminum pieces under the fume hood. The hotplate will speed up the dissolution process. Stirring the beaker will also help the dissolution process. Do this under the fume hood because hydrogen gas is produced in the reaction: 2al(s) + 2koh(aq) + 6h2o(l) . 2al(oh)4- (aq) + 2k+aq) + 3h2(g): make sure that the solution is not over 30ml. If the solution is over 30ml, you can evaporate some of the water out using the hotplate (at a later step): remove any impurities from the solution by vacuum filtration. The filter flask should be extremely clean so that impurities do not alter the concentration or volume of your solution. Make sure you do this step while the solution is still hot so that the impurities don"t cool down and dissolve.
