The chemical equation shows iron(III) phosphate reacting with sodium sulfate. 2FePO4 + 3Na2SO4 Fe2(SO4)3 + 2Na3PO4 What is the theoretical yield of Fe2(SO4)3 if 20.00 g of FePO4 reacts with an excess of Na2SO4

The theoretical yield of iron(III) sulfate is 26.6 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

    .....(1)

Given mass of iron(III) phosphate = 20.00 g

Molar mass of iron(III) phosphate = 150.82 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

The given chemical equation follows:

As, sodium sulfate is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, iron(III) phosphate is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of iron(III) phosphate produces 1 mole of iron(III) sulfate

So, 0.133 moles of iron(III) phosphate will produce = of iron(III) sulfate

Now, calculating the mass of iron(III) sulfate from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of iron(III) sulfate = 399.9 g/mol

Moles of iron(III) sulfate = 0.0665 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Hence, the theoretical yield of iron(III) sulfate is 26.6 grams

idk i’m struggling too

the answer is 75.0%.
