Explain ammonium ferric sulfate dodecahydrate

Reference no: EM13343369

Ammonium ferric sulfate dodecahydrate (NH4Fe(SO4)2 • 12 H2O) is synthesized via the two step process shown below. In the first step an acidic solution of iron (II) ions are oxidized to iron (III) ions with nitric acid. And in the second step the ammonium ions, and sulfate ions crystallize iron (III) ions to produced the desired product as a solid. (1) 2 H+ (aq) + NO3- (aq) + Fe2+ (aq) ææÆ Fe3+ (aq) + NO2 (aq) + H2O (l) (2) NH4+ (aq) + Fe3+ (aq) + 2 SO4 - (aq) + 12 H2O (l) ææÆ NH4Fe(SO4)2 • 12 H2O (s) A. Suggest a procedure to caryy out the synthesis and include which reagent is added in excess to ensure that the desired amount of product is obtained. B. what measurements need to be carried out? Construct a table to show what data needs to be taken. C. To ensure maximum yield what steps should be carried out?
