OBJECTIVES

Porphyrin Salt Selection and Preparations 2

SO₄^2- salts used:Fe₂(SO₄)₃, Al₃(SO₄)₃, FeSO₄, & Na₂SO₄

Preparing 10mM Stock Solutions For Each Salt :

1. Obtain four clean 100mL volumetric flasks with stoppers
2. Measure out calculated amounts of each salt to establish 10mM concentration
3. Add varied salt amounts to each volumetric flask (one salt per flask)
4. Fill each volumetric flask ½ full with HPLC grade H₂O
5. Swirl each flask thoroughly for ~ 5 minutes to begin the dissolving process
6. Finish adding HPLC grade H₂O to each volumetric flask to line

(Ensure that the volumetric calibration line is not surpassed or solution must be remade.)

10mM Salt Solution Calculations

• 10mM Fe₂(SO₄)₃ Solution

  MW Fe2(SO4)3: 278.91 g/mol
  10mM Fe2(SO4)3 × (100mL H2O / 1000mL H2O) × (278.91g Fe2(SO4)3 / 1 mol Fe2(SO4)3) = 0.2789g Fe2(SO4)3
 

• 10mM Al₃(SO₄)₃ Solution

  MW Al3(SO4)3: 356.37 g/mol
  10mM Al3(SO4)3 × (100mL H2O / 1000mL H2O) × (656.37g Al3(SO4)3 / 1 mol Al3(SO4)3) = 0.6564g Al3(SO4)3
 

• 10mM FeSO₄ Solution

  MW FeSO4: 278.01 g/mol
  10mM FeSO4 × (50mL H2O / 1000mL H2O) × (278.01g FeSO4 / 1 mol FeSO4) = 0.1390g FeSO4
 

• 10mM Na₂SO₄ Solution

  MW Na2SO4: 142.04 g/mol
  10mM Na2SO4 × (100mL H2O / 1000mL H2O) × (142.04g Na2SO4 / 1 mol Na2SO4) = 0.1420g Na2SO4
