Given the following equation: 8 Fe + S8 —> 8 FeS what mass of iron is needed to react with 5.65 mol of sulfur S8

2522g

Explanation:

8Fe + S8 —> 8FeS

From the question,

8moles of Fe required 1mole of S8.

Therefore, Xmol of Fe will require 5.65mol of S8 i.e

Xmol of Fe = 8 x 5.65 = 45.2moles

Now we need to covert 45.2moles to gram. This is illustrated below below:

Molar Mass of Fe = 55.8g/mol

Number of mole of Fe = 45.2moles

Mass of Fe =?

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of Fe = 45.2 x 55.8

Mass of Fe = 2522g

Therefore, 2522g of Fe is needed for the reaction.
