Fe +S =Fes. Calculate the mass in g of iron sulphide formed when 28g of iron combines with 16g of sulphur.

Open in App

Solution

According to the law of conservaion of mass,
total mass of reactants = total mass of products
So, 28g of iron reacts with 16g of sulphur to form 44g of iron sulphide.

Also, note here that iron and sulphur react in the ratio 1:1 and that half moles of both iron and sulphur are taken, So the reaction will be complete.

0.7 g of iron reacts directly with 0.4 g of sulphur to form ferrous sulphide. If 2.8 g f iron dissolves in dilute HCl and excess of sodium sulphide solution is added, 4.4 g of iron sulphide is precipitated. If it obeys the law of constant composition, what is the ratio of weights of Fe : S ?

In the formation of iron sulphide, by heating iron and sulphur, the mass of iron(II) sulphide __________ when compared with a total mass of iron and sulphur.

Q. Assertion :When iron is heated with sulphur, iron sulphide is formed. The total mass of iron and sulphur is equal to the mass of iron sulphide. Reason: Law of conservation of mass states that the total mass of reactants = total mass of products.
