I.

Equipment and Materials :

 Equipment
- Beaker glass 200 mL 1 piece
- Watch glass 2 pieces
- Spirtus burner 1 set
- Porceline cup 1 piece
- Graduated cylinder 25 mL 1 piece
- Pipette 3 piece
- Spatula 1 piece
 Materials
- Oxalic acid (H2C2O4)
- Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7)
- Ethanol solution
- Ammonium hydroxide dilute solution 0,1 M
II. Procedure :
1. The preparation of isomer trans- potassium dioxalatodiaquochrom (III)

3 gram of oxalic acid dihydrate

- dissolved with 1 drop of boiled aquadest

- added drop by drop 1 gram of potassium dichromat that have been
dissolve with 1 drop of hot aquadest
- closed the beaker glass use watch glass duting the reaction occur
- vapored the solution in water steam bath so the volume in a half
from initial
- left it vapored in room temperature till produce 1/3 volume from
initial
- filtered the crystal that produced

Residue Filtrate
 - washed with 5 mL of aquadest
- washed with 5 Ml of Ethanol
- dried it on the oven
- noted the result
% Rendement

4H2C2O4.2H2O (s) + K2Cr2O7 (s)  2K[Cr(C2O4)2(H2O)2] + 6CO2(g) +

7H2O (l)

2. The production of isomer cis – potassium dioxalatodiaquochrom (III)

1 gram of potassium dichromate

- inserted into porceline cup

- added by 3 gram of oxalic acid dihidrat
- stirred in one direction
- covered the cup with watch glass
- added by 5 mL of ethanol
- stirred it till produce precipitate
- do decantation process
- added by ethanol
- filtered it

Filtrate Residue

- dried it on the oven 400C till the weight

constant
Rendement

- Observed the color, determine the melting point,

analyze with UV-Vis
Result
 Reaction : 4H2C2O4.2H2O (s) + K2Cr2O7 (s)  2K[Cr(C2O4)2(H2O)2] +
6CO2 (g) + H2O (l)

3. Testing the impurity of isomer

Complex crystal (Cis isomer)

- placed on filter paper

- added by ammonium dilute solution
- observed the changes

Green color and spread in filter paper

Complex crystal ( Trans isomer)

- placed on filter paper

- added by ammonium dilute solution
- observed the changes

Brown precipitate that can’t dissolve

Reaction :

2K[Cr(C2O4)2(H2O)2] + 2NH3  2K[Cr(NH3)2(H2O)2]
