EXPERIMENT 1
---------------
Cobalt gives a green coordination complex with tartrates, when oxidized to
the +3 state.
EXPERIMENT 2
---------------
Vanadyl ions do not form a special complex with tartaric acid in strongly
acidic environments.
When hydrogen peroxide is added, a complex is formed, but is
this due to the presence of tartaric acid?
When tartaric acid is added to a solution of vanadyl sulfate in an
environment, which is only slightly acidic, then a green complex is
formed. On making the liquid more basic, a vague sequence of color
changes occurs, through grey/blue, finally going to brown.
EXPERIMENT 3
---------------
Dichromate is capable of oxidizing tartaric acid and a colorless gas is
formed in this reaction (probably CO2). The liquid becomes purple/grey
(hard to describe color, depending on viewing illuminant).
The reaction product does not form a special complex in alkaline environment,
the familiar green color of chromium (III) in alkaline environments is
created. Addition of glycerol does not result in formation of a special
coordination complex.
When, however, dichromate is reduced by an excess amount of glycerol, then
a special coordinate complex appears to be formed, when the solution is
made alkaline. Even addition of acid does not destroy this complex.
EXPERIMENT 4
---------------
Antimony (III) is supposed to form a stable complex with tartaric acid or
tartrates. This experiment does not show such behaviour. Apparently the
conditions must be selected carefully in order to create the antimony/
tartrate complex.
