The objective of this experiment is to determine whether the complex that was created in Experiment 1 was actually K3[Fe(C2O4)3]·3H2O. More specifically, to determine the molar ratio of C2O42-/Fe3+ that then can be used to find the number of moles of K+. The analysis that was performed is mostly consistent with the complex K3[Fe(C2O4)3]·3H2O. The average mole ratio of C2O42- : Fe3+ that was created was 2.82 moles where the ideal mole ratio was 3 moles. When comparing the actual to theoretical yield, the percent yield is 94% which shows that the analysis was executed quite well with little error. One source of error could have been inaccurate readings of measurements during titrations resulting in rounding errors and throwing off calculations.
