Question

The reaction of 56 gram of iron in the laboratory produces 14.1 grams of iron. What is the theorical amount of Fe moles produce in the reaction

Answer 1

0.252 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 14.1 g of iron is produced and the molar mass of iron is 55.85 g, the number of moles of iron produced is gotten from

n = m/M where m = mass of iron produced = 14.1 g and M = molar mass of iron = 55.85 g/mol

So, n = m/M

n = 14.1 g/55.85 g/mol

n = 0.252 moles of Fe.

So, the theoretical amount of Fe moles produce in the reaction is 0.252 mol
