The objective of this lab is to prepare an aluminum compound from aluminum contained waste materials like aluminum cans. The reaction of KOH with aluminum produce hydrogen gases and the solution turned black. The crystals that form in the bottom of the beaker should be filtered with vacuum filter and dried with the oven.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this lab is to prepare an aluminum compound from aluminum contained waste materials like aluminum cans. And to obtain a good yield of aluminum crystals and find their melting point.
EQUIPMENT AND CHEMICALS Equipment Chemicals
Weigh Boat Beaker Hot plate Stir rod Glass funnel Filter paper Vacuum filter Oven Melting point tube Top loader balances(BA # 4) Analytical Balance (BA # 3)
1.00g of Aluminum scrap KOH 9M H2SO4 DI water
SAFETY:
H2SO4: Very hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, irritant)of eye contact (irritant, corrosive), of ingestion, of inhalation. Liquid or spray mist may produce tissue damage particularly on mucous membranes.
ALUMINUM: Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant). Non-hazardous in case of ingestion.
PROCEDURE:
Please refer to Lab 8: The preparation of Aluminum compound from aluminum can: Chemistry 1 Laboratory Manual 2013-2014, Durham College, pages 31-33 for full list of Materials and Methods .
DISCUSSION:
In order to achieve this lab someone should make sure that the Aluminum scraps were cut well into tiny pieces and placed into a beaker. Pour KOH carefully in to the beaker because it may cause burns and place the beaker in the hot plate. These procedures should be performed in the fume hood. The reaction of KOH with Aluminum produce hydrogen gases and the solution turned black. The solution that formed will undergoes some filtration, which will produce a clear solution.Tranfer the solution in to a large space beaker and place it in an ice bath { smaller beaker will take too long to form crystals} for 20 minutes to get crystals. The crystals that form in the bottom of the beaker should be filtered with vacuum filter and dried with the oven to obtain pure dry Aluminum. Ethanol is also used in the vacuum process to produce the Aluminum quicker {Ethanol evaporates faster}.
OBSERVATION:
PROCEDURE RESULTS
Take 1.00g of Aluminum and cut them in to tiny pieces and place them in a beaker. Add 50ml of KoH and heat the solution in the hot plate.
Filter the solution
Solution turned white and producing H2 has
Clear solution produced.
CALCULATION:
Theoretical mass = Mass of Aluminium x Formula mass of KAl (SO4)2.12H2O Atomic Mass of Al
= 1.00 g x 474.29 g/mol 26.98 g/mol
Theoretical mass = 17.58 g
Total weight of Al compound yield + Filter paper weight = 8.05 g After removing weight of filter paper = 8.05g 0.1966g Total (Al) yield = 7.853g
Percentage yield % = Mass of Alum obtained (g) x 100 Theoretical mass of Alum (g)
Add 20ml of H2SO4 in to the clear solution and stir occasionally.
Heat the solution of large lumps of aluminum hydroxide for 10 minutes.
Weigh a filter paper
Cool the solution in the Erlenmeyer flask in cold water or ice bath. White clumps produced and they got dissolved partially after stirring.
The aluminum hydroxide got dissolved fully and produced a clear solution.
0.1966g ( Analytical balance #3 )
Crystals formed at the bottom.
Vacuum filter the crystals with a 20ml of (50-50) alcohol and water, transfer the residue that formed after vacuum in to a watch glass and place them in an oven.
Crystals obtained with some water.
Pure dry crystals obtained.
Mass of Alum obtained = 7.85 g Theoretical mass of Alum = 17.58 g = 7.85 x 100 17.58
= 45 %
Therefore the percent yield of Aluminum compound is 45% And Melting Point is = 125.9 0 C
CONCLUSION: This lab contained various methods, which would help someone to produce crystals of Aluminum from waste materials like aluminum cans. Therefore, the percent yield of Aluminum compound which was obtained from its scrap is 45% and the melting point is 125.9 0 C.
