for the equation 6 HNO+2Fe->3H2+2Fe(NO3)3, 21.4 grams of HNO3 is reacted with 20.3 grams Fe. How many grams of Fe(NO3)3 will form?
6 HNO3+2Fe->3H2+2Fe(NO3)3,
no of moles of HNO3 =W/G.M.Wt
= 21.4/63 = 0.339 moles
no of moles of Fe = W/G.A.Wt
= 20.3/56 = 0.3625moles
From balanced equation
2 moles of Fe react with 6 moles of HNO3
0.3625 moles of Fe react with = 6*0.3625/2 = 1.0875moles of HNO3
limiting reagent is HNO3
6 moles of HNO3 react with Fe to form 2 moles of Fe(NO3)3
6*63gm of HNO3 react with Fe to form 2*242 gm of Fe(NO3)3
21.4 gm of HNO3 react with Fe to form = 2*242*21.4/6*63 = 10357.6/378 = 27.4 gm of Fe(NO3)3
