What mass of FeS is produced when 4.71 g of Fe reacts with 4.25 g S
8
?
8 Fe (s) + S

(s) 8 FeS (s)

mol Fe = 4.71 g / 55.85 g/mol = 0.0843 mol Fe
mol FeS if all Fe reacts = 0.0843 mol Fe (8 mol FeS / 8 mol Fe) = 0.0843 mol FeS if all Fe reacts
mol S

Explain the trend in boiling points shown in the graph below (be concise!).

- The boiling points of HCl, HBr, and HI increase because the number of electrons and
hence the attractive strength of dispersion interactions increases as: HCl < HBr < HI
- The boiling point of HF is much higher because HF molecules can hydrogen bond while
HCl, HBr, and HI molecules cannot.
