Document Summary
In this lab, aluminum foil was used to synthesize alum, an inorganic salt with chemical formula kal(so4)2 12h2o. Various tests were performed to observe and confirm the presences of k+, al3+, so4. To synthesize the alum, 0. 256 grams of aluminum foil was weighed out, then 12. 5 ml of 4 m koh was added to produce the reaction. The addition of potassium hydroxide caused a vigorous fizzing and bubbling, as well as the formation of white foam and a minimal amount of condensation. The hydrogen gas was observed rising up from the test tube. This solution was filtered, and 10 ml of 9 m. H2so4 was added, which formed a solid aluminum hydroxide precipitate. This precipitate vanished when the solution was heated: After the solution was heated, the flask was placed in an ice bath to allow the alum crystals to form. The resulting crystals had a mass of 9. 891 grams, giving a percent yield of 122%.
