The chemical equation shows iron(III) phosphate reacting with sodium sulfate. 2FePO4 + 3Na2SO4 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

The theoretical yield of iron(III) sulfate is 26.6 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

    .....(1)

Given mass of iron(III) phosphate = 20.00 g

Molar mass of iron(III) phosphate = 150.82 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

The given chemical equation follows:

As, sodium sulfate is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, iron(III) phosphate is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of iron(III) phosphate produces 1 mole of iron(III) sulfate

So, 0.133 moles of iron(III) phosphate will produce = of iron(III) sulfate

Now, calculating the mass of iron(III) sulfate from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of iron(III) sulfate = 399.9 g/mol

Moles of iron(III) sulfate = 0.0665 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Hence, the theoretical yield of iron(III) sulfate is 26.6 grams

aquifers are bounded above and below by impermeable rock. the driving force of groundwater movement in confined aquifers is pressure, rather than gravity.
