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. 

(0/1 marks)

b)

Calculate the mass of (NH4)2SO4.Fe2(SO4)3 produced.

(0/1 marks)

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.
