Well, I did a lab recently and it involved synthesizing trisoxalatoferrate(III) n-hydrate (tri in this case). I'm trying to figure out the balanced equation so that I can determine the theoretical yield. I'm writing the reactants on both equations just from what my lab says, so I don't know if they are exactly correct.
All I really need to figure out FeC2O4 2H2O relationship to the product trisoxalatoferrate(III) trihydrate
So far I have:
Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2 6H2O (aq) + H2C2O4 (aq) -> FeC2O4 2H2O (ppt) + 2NH4+(aq) + 4H2O
The second step is where I'm not quite sure what how to balance it...
FeC2O4 2H2O (ppt) + H2O2 (aq) + K2C2H2 (aq) + H2C2O4 (aq) -> K3Fe(C2O4)3 3H2O (aq) + something
I'm not quite sure but I was thinking:
FeC2O4 2H2O + H2O2 + 3/2 K2C2O4 +1/2 H2C2O4 -> K3Fe(C2O4)3 3H2O (aq) + OH-
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
