What can you conclude about the mass of iron (III) sulfide produced when 3.0 g of iron filings react completely with 2.5 g of yellow sulfur solid, S8(s)?

Answer : The mass of iron(III)sulfide is, 5.4288 g

Solution : Given,

Mass of iron, Fe = 3 g

Mass of sulfur, = 2.5 g

Molar mass of Fe = 56 g/mole

Molar mass of = 256 g/mole

Molar mass of iron(III)sulfide, = 208 g/mole

The balanced chemical reaction is,

First we have to calculate the moles of iron and sulfur.

From the balanced reaction, we conclude that

16 moles of Fe react with 3 moles of

0.054 moles of Fe react with moles of

Therefore, the excess reagent in this reaction is, Fe and limiting reagent is,

Now we have to calculate the moles of FeS.

As, 3 moles of gives 8 moles of

So, 0.0098 moles of gives moles of

The moles of = 0.0261 moles

Now we have to calculate the mass of .

Mass of = Moles of × Molar mass of

Mass of = 0.0261 g × 208 g/mole = 5.4288 g

Therefore, the mass of iron(III)sulfide is, 5.4288 g

im not suree sorry if wrong

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
