The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze the reactions that occur when a mixture of ferric alum, chrome alum, and potash alum is treated with ammonia, sodium hydroxide, and hydrogen peroxide. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the process: ### Step 1: Dissolving the Mixture - **Action**: The mixture of ferric alum (FeAl(SO4)2·12H2O), chrome alum (CrAl(SO4)2·12H2O), and potash alum (KAl(SO4)2·12H2O) is dissolved in water. - **Result**: This results in the formation of their respective metal hydroxides in solution: - Ferric hydroxide: Fe(OH)3 - Chrome hydroxide: Cr(OH)3 - Potassium hydroxide: KOH **Hint**: Remember that when metal salts dissolve in water, they typically dissociate into their respective ions. ### Step 2: Treatment with Ammonia - **Action**: The solution is treated with an excess of NH3 (ammonia). - **Result**: - KOH remains soluble in water. - Cr(OH)3 becomes soluble in the presence of excess ammonia, forming a complex ion. - Fe(OH)3 remains insoluble and precipitates out as a brown solid. **Hint**: Ammonia can increase the solubility of certain metal hydroxides by forming complex ions. ### Step 3: Warming with NaOH and H2O2 - **Action**: The mixture is then warmed with a mixture of NaOH and H2O2. - **Result**: - The Fe(OH)3 precipitate remains unchanged and continues to be a brown precipitate. - Cr(OH)3 reacts with NaOH and H2O2 to form sodium chromate (Na2CrO4), which is yellow in color. **Hint**: The presence of hydrogen peroxide can oxidize Cr(OH)3 to form chromate ions. ### Step 4: Filtration - **Action**: The mixture is filtered. - **Result**: - The brown precipitate of Fe(OH)3 is collected on the filter paper. - The yellow solution containing Na2CrO4 (sodium chromate) passes through as the filtrate. **Hint**: Filtration separates solids from liquids, allowing you to collect the precipitate and the soluble components separately. ### Final Result - After filtration, we observe: - A **brown residue** (Fe(OH)3) on the filter paper. - A **yellow colored filtrate** (Na2CrO4) in the beaker. ### Conclusion The final products obtained from the treatment of the mixture are: - Brown residue (Fe(OH)3) - Yellow colored filtrate (Na2CrO4) **Final Answer**: Brown residue and yellow colored filtrate.
