Question 1
This question is about hydrated ammonium iron(III) sulfate. |
A student needs to find the value of x in the formula (NH4)2SO4.Fe2(SO4)3.xH2O. The apparatus used by the student is below. The hydrated solid decomposed when heated. The equation for the reaction is (NH4)2SO4.Fe2(SO4)3.xH2O → (NH4)2SO4.Fe2(SO4)3 + xH2O The table below shows the student's results. |
a) | Calculate the mass of water produced.
|
b) | Calculate the mass of (NH4)2SO4.Fe2(SO4)3 produced.
|
c) | Calculate the value of x. The molar mass of (NH4)2SO4.Fe2(SO4)3 is 532, and the molar mass of water is 18. Give your answer to the nearest whole number.
