Answer :

Answer :

(a) The number of sulfur atoms are, [tex]31.61\times 10^{23}[/tex].

(b) The mass of the mass of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex] is, 1059.682 grams.

(c) The number of moles of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex] is, [tex]8.63\times 10^{-3}mole[/tex]

(d) The mass of the mass of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex] is, [tex]19.95\times 10^{-22}g[/tex]

Explanation :

(a) As we are given the number of moles of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex] is, 1.75 mole. Now we have to calculate the number of sulfur atoms.

In the [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex], there are 2 iron atoms, 3 sulfur atoms, 12 oxygen atoms.

As, 1 mole of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex] contains [tex]3\times 6.022\times 10^{23}[/tex] number of sulfur atoms.

So, 1.75 mole of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex] contains [tex]1.75\times 3\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=31.61\times 10^{23}[/tex] number of sulfur atoms.

The number of sulfur atoms are, [tex]31.61\times 10^{23}[/tex]

(b) As we are given the number of moles of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex] is, 2.65 mole. Now we have to calculate the mass of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex].

[tex]\text{Mass of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3=\text{Moles of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3\times \text{Molar mass of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex]

The molar mass of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex] = 399.88 g/mole

[tex]\text{Mass of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3=2.65mole\times 399.88g/mole=1059.682g[/tex]

The mass of the mass of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex] is, 1059.682 grams.

(c) As we are given the mass of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex] is, 3.45 grams. Now we have to calculate the moles of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex].

[tex]\text{Mass of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3=\text{Moles of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3\times \text{Molar mass of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex]

The molar mass of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex] = 399.88 g/mole

[tex]3.45g=\text{Moles of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3\times 399.88g/mole[/tex]

[tex]\text{Moles of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3=8.63\times 10^{-3}mole[/tex]

The number of moles of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex] is, [tex]8.63\times 10^{-3}mole[/tex]

(d) As we are given the formula unit of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex] is, 3. Now we have to calculate the mass of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex].

As we know that 1 mole of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex] contains [tex]6.022\times 10^{23}[/tex] formula unit.

Formula used :

[tex]\text{Formula unit of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3=\text{Moles of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3\times 6.022\times 10^{23}[/tex]

[tex]3=\text{Moles of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3\times 6.022\times 10^{23}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Moles of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3=4.989\times 10^{-24}mole[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the mass of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex].

[tex]\text{Mass of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3=\text{Moles of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3\times \text{Molar mass of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex]

The molar mass of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex] = 399.88 g/mole

[tex]\text{Mass of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3=4.989\times 10^{-24}mole\times 399.88g/mole=19.95\times 10^{-22}g[/tex]

The mass of the mass of [tex]Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex] is, [tex]19.95\times 10^{-22}g[/tex]
