250 ml of 0.1 M Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2×6H2O:
molar mass Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2×6H2O = 392.12 g/mol
250 ml x 1 L/1000 ml = 0.25 L
0.1 M = 0.1 mol/L
0.1 mol/L x 0.25 L = 0.025 mols needed
0.025 mols x 392.12 g / mol = 9.803 g Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2×6H2O needed = 9.8 g (2 sig. figs.)
Weigh out 9.8 g Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2×6H2O and dissolve in a final volume of 250 ml of 5% v/v H2SO4
iron(II) ammonium sulphate hexahydrate = (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2 • 6H2O molar mass = 392.14 g/mol
250.0 ml x 1 L / 1000 ml = 0.2500 L
0.01 M = 0.01 mols / L
0.01 mol/L x 0.2500 L = 0.002500 mols (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2 • 6H2O
0.002500 mols x 392.14 g/mol = 0.9804 g (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2 • 6H2O needed
The question is a little unusual as it first asks to prepare the solution accurately but then is uses ca. 0.01 M which means it approximately 0.01 M, so what is the level of accuracy? Furthermore, it asks to prepare 250.0 mls but then says to use 200 ml od 5% v/v sulfuric acid. Maybe this was a typo and it means to use 250 mls of sulfuric acid as in the previous question. That being the case it would be...
