The results of the titration experiment we performed went closely to what we expected. We had to prove that K3[Fe(C2O4)3] ·3H2O was produced in the previous experiment, a 3:1 ratio of moles of C2O42- to moles of Fe3+ needed to be calculated from this second experiment, and we ended up with a 2.5:1 ratio. This could all be worked out by determining the number of moles of C2O42- and Fe3+ by solving for moles in the concentration (Molarity) formula, and then using molar ratios from the given chemical equations to find the number of moles of each ion. Having an average ratio of 2.5:1 is a good sign that we did the experiment correctly, but it could have been better. Our first sample had a 2.22:1 ratio which was much worse than sample 2’s 2.8665:1 ratio. This could be since we added slightly more KMnO4 to the 2nd sample. This may have been a more optimal amount for the experiment to proceed correctly. Overall, we did decent job getting the ratio that we desired.
