In a chemical reaction, 28g of iron reacts with 16g of sulfur to produce of iron sulfide.

Hello!

In a chemical reaction, 28g of iron reacts with 16g of sulfur to produce _________ of iron sulfide.

We have the following data:

m(Fe) - mass of iron = 28 g

m(S) - mass of sufur = 16 g

MM(Fe) - molar mass of iron ≈ 56 g/mol

MM(S) - molar mass of sulfur ≈ 32 g/mol

n(Fe) - number of mol of iron = ?

n(S) - number of mol of sulfur = ?

Solving:

* to n(Fe)

* to n(S)

The stoichiometric reaction will be in the same proportion (1 : 1), let us see:

1 mol of Fe -------------- 1 mol of FeS

0.5 mol of Fe ------------ 0.5 mol of FeS

Will the reaction of the iron mass with the mass of sulfur produce how many grams of iron sulfide? We will see:

n(FeS) - number of mol of iron sulfide = 0.5 mol

m(FeS) - mass of iron sulfide = ? (in grams)

MM(FeS) - Molar Mass of iron sulfide = 56 + 32 = 88 g/mol

Solving:

44 grams of iron sulfide
