Leuto - Step 3
Color change after addition of NH4OH(aq)

Leuto - Step 8
Crude product and charcoal.
Sometimes looks even darker than this.

Filtrate

Leuto - Step 10
Filtrate after hot filtration to remove charcoal - contains product.

Leuto - Step 11
Final filtrate

Notice the small volume. Do not

wash with extra solvent or the
product will be dissolved and lost.

Final Product

Praseo/Violeo - Step 4
Combination of Co(NO3)2 6H2O, (NH4)2CO3, and CONC.
NH3(aq). Notice formation of red horizon and ppt.

Note: if they use

1M NH3(aq) the
solution will
appear
differently and
they should start
over.

Praseo/Violeo - Step 5
After addition of H2O2 - notice disappearance of ppt and
appearance of purple horizon.

Praseo/Violeo - Step 6
Concentration - notice rate of boiling.

Praseo/Violeo - Step 7
Intermediate product and filtrate.

Praseo - Step 11
Addition of HCl

10

Praseo - Step 13
Crude product and filtrate.

11

Praseo - Step 14
Final product and filtrate.

12

Violeo - Step 11
After addition of HCl.
Before heating (red/purple)

After heating (blue/violet) notice green ppt

13

Violeo - Step 12
Crude product and filtrate.

14

Violeo - Step 13
Final product and filtrate.

15

Purpureo - Step 3
Combination of CoCl2 6H2O, NH4Cl(s), and CONC. NH3(aq.)
Notice yellow horizon
appearing in solution.

Precipitate easiest to see

if you tilt or swirl flask.

16

Purpureo - Step 4
Reddish precipitate observed after addition of hydrogen peroxide.

17

Purpureo - Step 6
Addition of Conc. HCl - notice reddish purple ppt.

18

Purpureo - Step 7
After warm water bath.

19

Purpureo - Step 8
Crude product and filtrate.

20

Purpureo - Step 10
Addition of Conc. HCl
Before stirring (red).

Afer stirring (blue supernatant).

21
