EXPERIMENT - 1
PREPARATION OF MOHR’S SALT

Aim
To prepare a pure sample of Mohr’s salt (ferrous ammonium sulphate) FeSO4.(NH4)2SO4.6H2O.

Theory
The formula for ferrous ammonium sulphate is FeSO4.(NH4)2SO4.6H2O. It is prepared by
dissolving equimolar mixture of hydrated ferrous sulphate and ammonium sulphate in water
containing a little sulfuric acid. The solution is subjected to crystallization, ferrous ammonium
sulphate separates out from the solution.
The chemical reaction is given below.
FeSO4 + (NH4)2SO4 + 6H2O → FeSO4.(NH4)2SO4.6H2O (Mohr’s salt)
The addition of sulphuric acid in this experiment prevents the hydrolysis of this salt.

Materials Required
• Conical flask
• Tripod stand
• Burner
• Funnel
• Watch glass
• Glass rod
• Filter paper
• Wire gauze
• China dish
• Ferrous sulphate
• Ammonium sulphate
• Dilute sulphuric acid

Procedure
• Weigh 7g of ferrous sulphate and 3.5g of ammonium sulphate separately.
• Mix ferrous sulphate and ammonium sulfate in water in a beaker containing dilute
sulphuric acid.
• Gently warm the solution in order to get a clear solution.
• Filter the solution in order to remove suspended impurities and concentrate the clear
filtrate by heating it china dish over a sand bath till the crystallization point is reached.
• Stir the solution occasionally during heating.
• Keep the solution undisturbed for slow cooling. After some time crystal of ferrous
ammonium sulphate will get separated from the solution.
• Separate the crystals by decantation from the mother liquor and wash the crystals with
cold water.
• Dry the crystals and note down the yield of the product.
Results:
• The pure sample of Mohr’s salt is prepared.
• The yield of Ferrous ammonium sulphate or Mohr’s salt is _______ gm.
