Hello!
In a chemical reaction, 28g of iron reacts with 16g of sulfur to produce _________ of iron sulfide.
We have the following data:
m(Fe) - mass of iron = 28 g
m(S) - mass of sufur = 16 g
MM(Fe) - molar mass of iron ≈ 56 g/mol
MM(S) - molar mass of sulfur ≈ 32 g/mol
n(Fe) - number of mol of iron = ?
n(S) - number of mol of sulfur = ?
Solving:
* to n(Fe)
* to n(S)
The stoichiometric reaction will be in the same proportion (1 : 1), let us see:
1 mol of Fe -------------- 1 mol of FeS
0.5 mol of Fe ------------ 0.5 mol of FeS
Will the reaction of the iron mass with the mass of sulfur produce how many grams of iron sulfide? We will see:
n(FeS) - number of mol of iron sulfide = 0.5 mol
m(FeS) - mass of iron sulfide = ? (in grams)
MM(FeS) - Molar Mass of iron sulfide = 56 + 32 = 88 g/mol
Solving:
Answer:
44 grams of iron sulfide
