Balanced chemical equation: 2(AlCl3* 6H2O) + CoCl2* 6H2O -> CoO*Al2O3 + 8(HCl) Two different reactants: • Aluminum chloride hexahydrate (AlCl3* 6H2O) • Cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate (CoCl2* 6H2O) Chemicals needed to synthesize the pigment: • 583 mg Aluminum chloride hexahydrate (AlCl3* 6H2O) • 117 mg Cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate (CoCl2* 6H2O) Equipment needed to prepare the pigment: • Hot plate • Electronic scale • Pestle • Vacuum hose • Funnel • Stopwatch • Tongs • Small Beakers • Stirring rods Procedure for synthesis: • Grind together 583 mg of Aluminum chloride hexahydrate and 117 mg of Cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate using a pestle. • Heat the resulting mixture over a hot plate for approximately 5 minutes. Place in a fume hood for safety from the gas that burns off from the pigments.…show more content…
Taking into account that linseed oil has a yellow color, and the pigment I am striving for is blue, it would create a green pigment instead of blue. To stop this from happening, I am going create a 2:1 ratio of titanium oxide to linseed oil mixture to create a white color. Titanium oxide only makes the pigment
