About this document
Potassium Alum Synthesis Lab Report by Ericson Escobedo is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes the synthesis of potassium alum (KAl(SO4)2·12H2O) through a three step reaction: 1) Dissolving aluminum foil in potassium hydroxide produces aluminum hydroxide ions. 2) The aluminum hydroxide ions are neutralized with sulfuric acid to form aluminum ions. 3) The aluminum ions react with potassium ions and sulfate ions to form potassium alum salt, which precipitates out of solution. The overall balanced chemical equation for the reaction is provided. Theoretical and actual yields
