The Green Blob By: Hayley Monroe Period 6
The Procedure: Part 1 • Fill half of a jar with steel wool • Contains iron (Fe2) • Add enough vinegar to cover the steel wool • Vinegar = acetic acid (C2H4O2) • Let sit for five days
During the Five Days… • Chemical reaction occurs • Iron (from the steel wool) and vinegar (acetic acid) combine to produce iron acetate • Fe2 + C2H4O2 -> Fe(C2H3O2)2
The Procedure: Part 2 • Get another jar • Add equal amounts of iron acetate (Fe(C2H3O2)2) and ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) • Stir and observe
After Mixing… • Chemical reaction occurs • Ammonium hydroxide and iron acetate combine to produce ammonium acetate and iron hydroxide • NH4OH + Fe(C2H3O2)2 -> C2H3O2NH4 + Fe(OH)2
