Answer :
Answer:
648.68 mg
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- FeCl₃ + 3NaOH → Fe(OH)₃ + 3NaCl
First we calculate how many moles of each reactant were added, using the given volumes and concentrations:
- FeCl₃ ⇒ 100 mL * 0.240 M = 24 mmol FeCl₃
- NaOH ⇒ 100 mL * 0.182 M = 18.2 mmol NaOH
24 mmol of FeCl₃ would react completely with (24 * 3) 72 mmol of NaOH. There are not as many NaOH mmoles, so NaOH is the limiting reactant.
Now we calculate how many moles of Fe(OH)₃ are formed, using the moles of the limiting reactant:
- 18.2 mmol NaOH * [tex]\frac{1mmolFe(OH)_3}{3mmolNaOH}[/tex] = 6.07 mmol Fe(OH)₃
Finally we convert 6.07 mmol Fe(OH)₃ to grams, using its molar mass:
- 6.07 mmol Fe(OH)₃ * 106.867 mg/mmol = 648.68 mg
The 129.6 g mass of Fe(OH)₃ will be obtained.
How we calculate mass or weight from moles?
Weight or mass of any substance can be calculated from mole as:
n = W/M.
Given chemical reaction is:
FeCl₃ + 3NaOH → Fe(OH)₃ + 3NaCl
According to the question:
Concentration of FeCl₃ = 0.240 M
Volume of FeCl₃ = 100 mL
Concentration of NaOH = 0.182 M
Volume of NaOH = 200 mL
Moles can be calculated by using the formula M = n/V mole/L 0r M = n×1000/V g/mL,
Moles of FeCl₃ = 0.240 × 100 = 0.024 mole
Moles of NaOH = 0.182 × 200 = 3.64 mole
From the stoichiometry of the reaction, it is clear that 3 mole of NaOH i.e. 109.2 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of FeCl₃ to form product. So here NaOH is the limiting agent and responsible for the formation of product. Now we calculate how many moles of Fe(OH)₃ are formed, using the moles of the limiting reactant as follow:
Moles of Fe(OH)₃ = 1/3 × ( 3.64) = 1.21 mole
Finally we convert 12.1 mole Fe(OH)₃ to grams, using its molar mass:
W = 1.21 mole × 106.87 g/mole = 129.6 g
Hence, 129.6 gram of Fe(OH)₃ will be obtained.
