Question 57

A student synthesizes a sample of potassium trioxalatoferrate(III) trihydrate crystals, K3[Fe(C2O4)3]⋅3H2O\text{K}_3[\text{Fe}(\text{C}_2\text{O}_4)_3] \cdot 3\text{H}_2\text{O}K3​[Fe(C2​O4​)3​]⋅3H2​O. After isolating the crystals via filtration and washing them, the student weighs the product and finds that the actual mass obtained is greater than the calculated maximum theoretical yield.
