[NeoPTLD]

We're doing absolutely nothing, but sit around for these damn solution to crystallize. :disgust:

What solution?

3 K2C2O4*H2O + FeCl3*6H2O--> K3[Fe(c2O4)3]*3H2O + 3 KCl

At least it isn't C10H15N

We had to wait 45min at room temp, then another 30min in ice bath.

ice it sooner, faster but but more impuities

either that or boil off some solvent first

We had to follow the manual.

We vacuum filtered, then redissolved and it will be allowed to recrystallize for a week.

After two and half hours, we are done with first step.

Next week, we'll vacuum filter and let it dry for another week.

We'll subsequently determine the percentage of oxalate, potassium and iron from product. Everything is based on this product and there is no room for FUBARS.
