Balancing reaction of Iron Ammonium Sulfate Hexahydrate
« on: February 21, 2008, 08:42:04 PM »
To determine the composition we subjected the unknown iron oxalate to permanganate titration. The identity of the iron oxalate was Potassium ferrioxalate K3[Fe(C2O4)3]*3H2O . Now as part of the assignment we are being asked to find and balance the equation for the synthesis of potassium ferrioxalate. All that is revealed is that one of the reactants is hydronium ion, the other reactant is Iron II ammonium sulfate hexahydrate Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2*6H2O. In summary....


H3O + Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2*6H2O ---> K3[Fe(C2O4)3]*3H2O + Second Product


This is unbalanced and incomplete. Any tips on how to complete this would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you.
