Mass of iron sulfide obtained : 22 g

Further explanation

Reaction

Fe+S⇒FeS

8 grams of sulfur and 28 grams of iron are taken for the reaction

  • Find limiting reactant

mol of Fe(Ar=56 g/mol) :

[tex]\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{Ar}\\\\mol=\dfrac{28}{56}\\\\mol=0.5[/tex]

mol of S(Ar=32 g/mol) :

[tex]\tt mol=\dfrac{8}{32}=0.25[/tex]

Limiting reactant ⇒ S(smaller mol ratio), excess reactant : Fe

mol of FeS based on limiting (S) ⇒0.25(mol ratio from equation = 1 : 1)

Mass FeS(MW=88 g/mol) :

[tex]\tt mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=0.25\times 88\\\\mass=22~g[/tex]
