Alum Synthesis: The Chemical Process of Recycling Aluminum Introduction By recycling aluminum cans‚ the costs and energy savings are dramatically more resourceful and efficient than producing aluminum from what it is naturally found in‚ bauxite ore. The process of recycling aluminum to produce potassium aluminum sulfate‚ a common alum‚ will be done through a serious of chemical reactions. Through this reaction‚ percent yield will be determined. Materials and Methods The mass of a 250 mL

experiment is used to perform a series of synthesis reactions that convert aluminum foil to alum. Alum is used in cooking‚ to treat wastewater‚ and is used in common deodorant. In this lab a series of four reactions will occur to yield alum.

Analysis of Alum AlK(SO4 )2 . 12H2O AP Chemistry Lab # 5 INTRODUCTION Every compound has a unique set of chemical and physical properties. To identify a compound with certainty‚ experiments have to be conducted in order to verify these properties. Such kind of analysis is usually performed when a compound is synthesized‚ and whether the compound is indeed the compound desired needs to be ascertained. The main purpose of the experiment is to analyze alum‚ AlK( SO4 )2 . 12

There are a number of tests that can be perfonned to verify that the compound is the one desired. In Experiment 15A‚ you prepared alum crystals‚ KAl(S04)z·12H 20. In Experiment 15B‚ you will conduct a series of tests to detennine if your crystals are really alum. The first test is to find the melting temperature of the

Analysis of Alum AlK(SO4)2*12H2O: Determining the Melting Point and Water Hydration PreLab Questions: 1. When measuring the melting point‚ it is best to heat up the sample slowly so that the alum sample would be the same temperature as the water. The sample also needs time to melt. 2. 0.787g Na2CO3 1.336g H2O Moles of Na2CO3 = 0.787/106 = 0.00742moles Moles of H2O = 1.336/18 = 0.0742 Molar Ratio = 10 moles of H2O‚ 1 moles of Na2CO3 Abstract: The purpose

The Formation of Alum Experiment 4 Introduction In an increasing population the need for land fields are as well increasing daily. Better yet‚ rather than dumping off trash is to instead recycle aluminum cans for a more efficient society. In this lab we will show how aluminum cans react to form alum. Materials and Methods The first step of the lab is to measure the mass of 250 mL beaker‚ once you have done this add .9 to 1.2 grams of aluminum can pieces to the beaker. Take the mass once

PREPARATION OF POTASH ALUM [(K2SO4.Al2(SO4)3.24(H2O) Aim: To prepare a pure sample of potash alum. [K2SO4.Al2(SO4)3.24H2O] Principle: Potash alum is prepared by dissolving an equi molar mixture of aluminum sulphate and potassium sulphate in minimum amount of water containing a little amount of sulphuric acid and then subjecting the solution to crystallisation; octahedral crystals of potash alum separate out. Apparatus required: Beaker (100 ml) Trough Funnel Wire gauze Conical
