Answer:
35.36 g
Explanation:
We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:
8Fe + S₈ —> 8FeS
Next, we shall determine the mass of Fe that reacted and the mass of FeS produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:
Molar mass of Fe = 56 g/mol
Mass of Fe from the balanced equation = 8 × 56 = 448 g
Molar mass of FeS = 56 + 32 = 88 g/mol
Mass of FeS from the balanced equation = 8 × 88 = 704 g
SUMMARY:
From the balanced equation above,
448 g of Fe reacted to produce 704 g of FeS.
Finally, we shall determine the theoretical yield of FeS as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
448 g of Fe reacted to produce 704 g of FeS.
Therefore, 22.5 g of Fe will react to produce = (22.5 × 704)/448 = 35.36 g of FeS.
Thus, the theoretical yield of FeS is 35.36 g
