Experiment 9 Preparation and Analysis of a Coordination Compound
Goals • Synthesize chloropentaaminocobalt chloride [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 • Determine __________ of product • Analyze product by column chromatography and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy to determine its __________ and, therefore, _______________________ ______________________________________
Hazards • Cobalt compounds (including starting material and all products) • Hydrogen Peroxide • Ammonium hydroxide • Ammonium chloride • Hydrochloric Acid • Methanol
What is a Coordination Compound? • “metal atom or ion associated with a group of neutral molecules or anions”* • In water, _____________ will surround an ion • Sometimes, when the ions are crystallized they retain one or more H2O molecules as a ligand • The H2O molecules are considered to be _________________________________________ • Ligands form _______________ (they donate the electrons) with ________________ • Coordination complexes contain the coordination compound plus additional ions to balance charge [coord Cmpd] ions *Kotz, J. Treichel, P., Chemistry and Chemical Reactivity, 4th Ed., 1999.
Co(NH3)6+3 Octahedrally surrounded to give compact sphere *from http://genchem.rutgers.edu/CoAm.html
The Planned Mechanism +2 +1 +OH-+6NH3 + NH4+ + 5H2O NH4Cl/NH4OH +1 +2 +½H2O2 Oxidizes Co from +2 to +3
Planned Mechanism continued +3 +2 + H+ From HCl +2 +3 + Cl-
The Analysis-Next Week • How much cobalt should be in the product? • What if you determine that it is not the calculated value? • What should the final charge be for the product? • Can you get something else? • What does the charge that you get depend on?
Week 1 Results • Whenever you make something, what do you usually want to know? • %Yield – will be calculated next week • What does it tell? • %yield = Actual yield/theoretical yield*100%
Theoretical Yield???? • Weigh amount of limiting substance • Change grams to moles • Determine how many moles of product this could make • Take into account stoichiometry • For today: 1mol reagent: 1mol product • Change to grams of product
