2. if 3.45 g of sodium hydroxide is being reacted with 5.23 g of iron (iii) chloride, how many grams of iron (iii) hydroxide would be produced? show all calculations. (8 pts)



Answer :

If 3.45 g of sodium hydroxide is being reacted with 5.23 g of iron (iii) chloride,  grams of iron (iii) hydroxide produced is 3.44 g.

The reaction is given as :

FeCl₃   +   3NaOH   --->  Fe(OH)₃   +   3NaCl

mass of NaOH = 3.45 g

mass of FeCl₃ = 5.23 g

moles of NaOH = mass / molar mass

                           = 3.45 / 40

                           = 0.086 mol

moles of FeCl₃ = 5.23 / 162

                         = 0.0322 mol

FeCl₃ is the limiting reactant and depends on the production of the Fe(OH)₃ .

1 mole of FeCl₃  = 1 mole of Fe(OH)₃

0.0322 mol of FeCl₃ = 0.0322 mol of Fe(OH)₃

mass of Fe(OH)₃ = moles × molar mass

                            = 0.0322 × 107

                            = 3.44 g
