Answer:

Fe(NO₃)₃ = 0.23; FeCl₃ = 0.34

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass fraction is defined as the ratio between the mass of iron in 1 mol of the compound and the mass of the complete compound.

In Fe(NO₃)₃ there is just 1 atom of Fe that has a molar mass of 55.845g/mol. The molar mass of this compound is 241.86g/mol. Thus, mass fraction is:

55.845g/mol / 241.86g/mol =

Fe(NO₃)₃ = 0.23

In FeCl₃ there is 1 atom of Fe that has a molar mass of 55.845g/mol. The molar mass of this compound is 162.2g/mol. Thus, mass fraction is:

55.845g/mol / 162.2g/mol =

FeCl₃ = 0.34
