To obtain a high yield of the cobalt complexes it is essential to add the hydrogen peroxide carefully. Consider the following: 2C03+ +2 OH 2C02* + H2O2 Required for synthesis: 2 H20 (() + 02 (g) Undesirable: 2 H2O2 (aq) *fast at room temperature and slow at 0°C Using the infomation above, identify the potential result of each of the following experimental mistakes along with an explanation of why those results might be observed: a) The 30% hydrogen peroxide was allowed to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before being added to the reaction mixture. b) The entire volume of hydrogen peroxide was added to the reaction mixture in a single portion. c) Mickey Mole was careful to keep the hydrogen peroxide cold and added only small aliquots to the reaction mix ture- but failed to stir after each addition.
