Non-Chemical Materials:

Composition of a Compound

- 1 bunsen burner
- 3 sets of protective eyewear
- 1 test tube or Erlenmeyer flask
- 1 electronic balance, 1 spatula/scoopula
- 1 triple beam balance (optional)
- pole and clamp, rubber stopper with a hole in it, and a tube to connect the stopper with a basin full of water
- at least 1 stop watch
- glass and rubber tubing
- water basin and Dihydrogen Oxide
- as many test tubes as needed to catch 400 mL of volume

 

Iron Determination

- a tool designed to grind tablets into powder
- 1 volumetric flask
- 2 beakers with mL scale
- 2 graduated cylinders to hold the solutions
- titration buret
- 2 erlenmeyer flasks to mix with

 

Chemical Reagents and their Concentrations:

Composition of a Compound

- 2.0 grams of Potassium Chlorate (equivalent to 0.016 mol or 1.6 x 10-2 mol of KClO3)

 

Iron Determination

- minimum of 2 Iron (II) / Ferrous Sulphate tablets (Iron Supplement tablets)
- 1 Molar of H2SO4 (Sulphuric Acid) in 100 mL of solution (equivalent to 0.1 mol of H2SO4 in the solution)
- it is recommended to mix 5.55 mL of 18 M Sulphuric Acid into 100 mL of distilled water to produce the solution
- 0.005 Molar of KMnO4 (Potassium Permanganate) to titrate with (is equivalent to 5 x 10-5 mol of KMnO4 in the solution, and equivalent to 160 mg of KMnO4 in 200 mL solution)
