Explanation / Answer

Ans. Balanced reaction:

FeCl3.6H2O (aq) + 3 C5H8O2 + 3 CH3COONa.3H2O (aq) ------>

                                    Fe(C5H7O2)3(s) + 3 NaCl (aq)+ 3 CH3COOH + 9 H2O (l)

# Following stoichiometry, the theoretical molar ratio of reactants-

                        FeCl3.6H2O : 3 C5H8O2 : 3 CH3COONa.3H2O = 1 : 3 : 3

# Now, experimental molar ratio of reactants-

                        FeCl3.6H2O : 3 C5H8O2 : 3 CH3COONa.3H2O

= 0.0050252 mol : 0.01865 mol : 0.0195 mol

                        = 1 : 3.7 : 3.8

# Comparing the theoretical and experimental molar rations of reactants, the experimental moles of C5H8O2 and CH3COONa.3H2O are greater than their theoretical value of 3 moles while that of FeCl3.6H2O is kept constant at 1 mol. Therefore, C5H8O2 and CH3COONa.3H2O are reagents in excess, and FeCl3.6H2O is the limiting reactant.

# Yield: The formation of product follows the stoichiometry of limiting reactant.

Following stoichiometry, 1 mol FeCl3.6H2O produces 1 mol Fe(C5H7O2)3.

So,

            Moles of Fe(C5H7O2)3 produced = 0.0050252 mol = moles of limiting reactant

And,

            Theoretical mass of Fe(C5H7O2)3 produced = theoretical moles x MW

                                                            = 0.0050252 mol x (353.17514 g/ mol)

                                                            = 1.7748 g

Therefore, theoretical yield of Fe(C5H7O2)3 = 1.7748 g

# Now, % yield = (Actual yield / Theoretical yield) x 100

                                    = (.1.0204 g / 1.7748 g) x 100

                                    = 57.494 %
