In this question, we are given the balanced equation for the reaction between iron and sulfur.
00:17
To obtain sulfur, sorry, iron, three sulfide.
00:29
Okay? and again, the equation is balanced.
00:37
We need to determine the theoretical yield of in grams of iron 3 sulfide in other words the mass of iron 3 sulfide the theoretical mass stoichiometric mass if we combine 83 .77 grams of iron with excess of sulfur so we don't need to know how much we just know is in excess and if sulfur is in excess item is the limiting reactant and therefore is the one that is going to determine the yield of iron three sulfide so the two substances that we need to focus on are iron and iron three sulfide okay to establish the mold ratio so we have two moles of iron reacting to produce one mole of iron three sulfide.
01:50
Therefore, our mole ratio is two mole of item to one mole of iron three oxide, sulfide.
02:16
Now because we are given grants and we need to give the answering grants, we need to convert the mole ratio into a mass ratio, gram to gram.
02:28
We do that by multiplying by converting the moles to grams.
02:33
We multiply this one by the atomic weight of iron, which is 55 .85 grams per mole...
