The chemical equation shows iron(iii) phosphate reacting with sodium sulfate. 2fepo4 3na2so4 right arrow. 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? 26.52 g 53.04 g 150.8 g 399.9 g

Sagot :

Percentage yield tells the percentage ratio of actual to theoretical yield. The theoretical yield of iron(III) sulfate is 26.52 g.

What is a theoretical yield?

The theoretical yield is the product formation from the complete modification of the limiting reagent in a chemical reaction.

The balanced chemical reaction is shown as,

[tex]\rm 2FePO_{4} + 3Na_{2}SO_{4} \rightarrow Fe_{2}(SO_{4})_{3} + 2Na_{3}PO_{4}[/tex]

Moles of ferric phosphate is calculated  as:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \rm n &= \rm \dfrac{mass}{molar \; mass}\\\\&= \dfrac{20}{150.82}\\\\&= 0.1326\;\rm mol\end{aligned}[/tex]

From the reaction,

[tex]\dfrac{1 \;\rm mol \; Fe_{2}(SO_{4})_{3} }{2 \;\rm mol \; FePO_{4}}&= \dfrac{\rm X}{ 0.1326 \;\rm mol \; FePO_{4}}[/tex]

Solving for X:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \rm X &= (\dfrac{0.1326}{2}) \times 1 \rm \; mol\\\\&= 0.0663 \;\rm mol \;Fe_{2}(SO_{4})_{3}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Calculating mass from moles:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\rm mass &= \rm moles \times molar \rm \; mass\\\\&= 0.0663 \;\rm mol \times 399.88 \;\rm g/mol \\\\&= 26.51\;\rm g\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, option A. 26.52 gm is the mass of iron(III) sulfate.
