The core of the experiment is mastering the —specifically condensation reactions with derivatives and oxidation reactions.
: For aluminate complexes, the product is typically white or colorless crystals; for iron complexes, it may range from pale green to violet.
For the reaction: [ mM^n+ + lL \rightarrow [M_m L_l]^x+ ] The maximum absorbance occurs at the mole fraction corresponding to the stoichiometric ratio ( m : l ). Stpm Chemistry Experiment 10 201314

Salicylate (C₆H₄(OH)COO⁻) forms a deep violet complex with Fe³⁺. The intensity of the colour is proportional to the concentration of the complex, making spectrophotometry ideal.
Since the ratio is 1:1, Moles of Product = Moles of Reactant. Theoretical Mass = Percentage Yield Percentage Yield Actual Mass obtained Theoretical Mass cap C u cap S cap O sub
: A violet color indicates the presence of unreacted salicylic acid (phenol group).
