Questions
Pre-Lab
1. Use the molar mass of iron to convert the mass of iron used to moles.
86.65gFe x 1moleFe = 1.5515605moles Fe
1
55.847gFe
2. According to the law of conservation of mass, what is the mass of oxygen that
reacted with the iron?
118.37g iron oxide
- 86.65g iron
31.72g O
3. Calculate the number of moles of oxygen in the product.
32.72gO2 x 1moleO2 x 2 mole O = 2.045moles O
1
32gO2
1 mole O2
4. Use the ratio between the number of moles of iron and number of moles of
oxygen to calculate the empirical formula of iron oxide. Note: Fractions of atoms do not
exist in compounds. In the case where the ratio of atoms is a fractional number, such as
, the ratio should be simplified by multiplying all the atoms by a constant to give whole
number ratios for all the atoms (e.g., Ho1/2 should be H2O).
