Procedure

A 600 ml beaker was charged with 258 g of a commercially available 34 weight % AlCl3 solution and 107.65 g of a 50% citric acid solution to provide a mole ratio of aluminum to citric acid of 2:1. The resulting solution was stirred vigorously for 35 minutes after which period 25 ml of a 50% NaOH solution was added via burette over a period of 36 minutes.
