Procedure:
1.Unknown calcium solution obtained in 125 ml flask.
2.Pipetted 25.00 ml of unknown into 400 ml beaker,diluted with 75 ml of 0.1M HCl and 5 drops methyl red indicator
3.25 ml of ammonium oxalate solution added to the beaker
4.filtered,put in oven cooled weighed, etc
Ca2+(aq) + C2O42-(aq) -----> CaC2O4(s)
For Trial # 1
Crucible clean dried weight=15.5572g
after analysis crucible weight=16.1992g
mass of calcium oxalate mono-hydrate precipitate=.6420g
Determine the molarity of Ca2+ in the original unknown solution
moles of calcium oxalate precipitated=.6420g/128.10g/mol=0.050 mol CaC2O4
moles of Ca2+=ratio is 1:1 Ca2+:CaC2O4=.0050 mol CaC2O4
molarity=0.050 mol Ca2+/0.125ml=0.040=0.040 X 5= .20M Ca2+ in the original solution
did i miss anything in my calculations?
