Answer 1

Answer:

The black solid is magnetic due to the special property of iron called ferromagnetism

6.9 g

Explanation:

The substance FeS is magnetic despite of the fact Fe^2+ is spin paired due to the special magnetic property of iron called ferromagnetism.

The equation of the reaction is;

Fe(s) + S(s) ----> FeS(s)

Number of moles of Fe = 5g/56g/mol = 0.089 moles

Since the reaction is 1:1, 0.089 moles of FeS is formed

For Sulphur;

Number of moles of sulphur = 2.5g/32 g/mol = 0.078 moles

Since the reaction is 1:1, 0.078 moles of FeS is formed

Hence sulphur is the limiting reactant.

So, mass of FeS produced = 0.078 × 87.91 g/mol = 6.9 g
