Ferric Hydroxide Sol

This document describes an experiment to prepare ferric hydroxide sol. It lists the required materials and apparatus, which include a conical flask, beaker, boiling tube, glass rod, funnel, round bottom flask, iron stand, wire gauze tripod stand, burner, and burette or dropper. It provides the procedure which is to clean the conical flask by steaming, add 100mL of distilled water and heat it while adding ferric chloride solution dropwise until a deep red or brown ferric hydroxide solution is obtained. The solution is then left undisturbed at room temperature and labeled as the ferric hydroxide sol product. Precautions include thoroughly cleaning apparatus and

pROCEDURE { I) \
1. Take a 250 ml ('onical flask and clea n it by steaming-out process as shown in Fig. 1.2.
td 2. Tt1 t.his d eaned flask , add 100 ml of distilled water and heat it to boil by placing the flask on a wire-gauze.
3. Add ferric chloride solution dropwise (by the use of a burette or a dropper) to the boiling water. t
4. Continue heating until deep red or brown solution of ferric hydroxide is obtained. Replace the water loa
by evaporation during boiling at regular intervals.
5. Keep the contents of conical flask undisturbed for sometime at room temperature. Label the solution as

PRECAUTIONS
1. Since ferric hydroxide sol is affected by impurities, the apparatus required for the preparation of sol
should be thoroughly cleaned by steaming-out process.
2. Add ferric chloride solution dropwise.
3. Heating is continued till the desired sol is obtained.
4. Hydrochloric acid formed as a result of hydrolysis of ferric chloride is removed by dialysis process other-
wise it would destablise the sol.
