Question 4 • Chemistry

The chemical equation shows iron(III) phosphate reacting with sodium sulfate. 2 FePO sub 4 plus 3 Na sub 2 SO sub 4 rightarrow Fe sub 2 open paren SO sub 4 close paren sub 3 plus 2 Na sub 3 PO sub 4 What is the theoretical yield of Fe sub 2 open paren SO sub 4 close paren sub 3 if 20 point 0 0 g of FePO sub 4 reacts with an excess of Na sub 2 SO sub 4 ?

Answer
A
399 point 9 g
B
26 point 5 2 g
C
53 point 0 4 g
D
150 point 8 g

Explanation

The balanced equation shows that 2 mol FePO₄ produce 1 mol Fe₂(SO₄)₃. FePO₄ has a molar mass of about 150.82 g/mol, so 20.00 g is about 0.1326 mol; this produces 0.06631 mol Fe₂(SO₄)₃. Multiplying by the product’s molar mass, about 399.9 g/mol, gives a theoretical yield of 26.52 g, choice B.
