    Which of the following represents the correct number of moles of each element in 40 g of ferric sulphate? [Atomic mass of Fe = 56 u, S = 32 u, 0 = 16 u]

    A)
    Fe S 0
    2 3 12

    B)
    Fe S 0
    1 1 4

    C)
    Fe S 0
    0.2 0.3 1.2

    D)
    Fe S 0
    0.1 0.1 0.4

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The molar mass of \[\text{F}{{\text{e}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{(S}{{\text{o}}_{\text{4}}}\text{)}}_{\text{3}}}\text{=400g}\] \[\text{No}\text{. of mole=}\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{molar mass}}=\frac{40}{400}=0.1\] 1 mol of ferric sulphate contains 2 mol of iron. \[\therefore \] 0.1 mol of ferric sulphate will contain \[2\times 0.1\] = 0.2 mol of Fe 1 mol of ferric sulphate contains 3 mol of S. \[\therefore \] 0.1 mol of ferric sulphate will contain \[\text{3}\times \text{0}\text{.1=0}\text{.3 mol of S}\] 1 mol of ferric sulphate contains 12 mol of oxygen. \[\therefore \] 0.1 mol of ferric sulphate will contain \[=12\times 0.1\] =1.2 mol of oxygen
