Answer:

5.86mol 2Fe(OH)3 * [3 mols Na SO4 / 2 mols Fe(OH)3] = 8.79 mols sodium sulfate

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question you need to look at the ratio of sodium sulfate to iron(III) hydroxide. The ratio is 3 to 2, meaning that for every 3 moles of Na SO4 there are also 2 moles of Fe(OH)3. So, you can multiply 5.86 by (3/2) to find the mols of sodium sulfate.
