Average weight of oxalate in percentage-
m(K3(Fe(C2O4)3).3H2O)/(Number
of attempts/titrations)=(0.118g + 0.102g + 0.0987g)/3 = 0.106g
Mass of C2O42-/(Number of
attempts/titrations) = (0.01796g + 0.01828g +
0.01768g)/3 = 0.01797g
Average weight of oxalate in percentage = (0.01797g/0.106g) x 100
= 16.95%
Theoretical percentage of oxalate in potassium ferric
oxalate
Theoretical percentage of oxalate:
potassium ferric oxalate trihydrate = oxalate
491.25 g/mol = 88.018
100 g/mol = 'x'
x = 88.018 x 100/491.25
Theoretical % of oxalate = 17.92%
% Error = (practical % of oxalate -
theoretical % of oxalate) x 100
The concentration of KMnO4- 0.02M
Using the chemical formula, calculate the theoretical percentage
of oxalate in potassium ferric oxalate.
