Question
1.) Determine the mass of ferrous ammonium sulfate hexahydrate, Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2 (times) 6 H2O, required to make 250.00 mL of a 1.20 X 10^-3 M solution of Fe^+2. The molar mass of the hydrated salt is 392.13 g/mole. PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK FOR ALL THE QUESTIONS.
2.) What is the purpose of adding the hydroxylamine to your iron solutions?
3.) Balance the following equation in acidic solution: NH2OH(aq) + Fe^+3 (aq) ------> N2(g) + Fe^+2(aq)
a.) Oxidation half-reaction:
b.) Reduction half-reaction:
c.) overall balanced reaction:
4.) For the chemical equation given in problem #3 identify the oxidizing and reducing agents.
a.) Oxidizing agent = _____________ b.) Reducing agent = ________________
Explanation / Answer
mmol of salt solution =250*0.0012 =0.3 mmol = mmol of hydrated salt.
molecular mass of hydrated salt =392.13 g/mol
massof ferrous ammonium sulfate hexahydrate =moles *molecular mass
=392.13*0.3 =117.639 g
Hydroxylamine acts as an reducing agent in reduction of NH2OH to N2.
balanced reaction : 2NH2OH(aq) + Fe^+3 (aq) ------> N2(g) + Fe^+2(aq) +2H2O + 2H+
reduction half :Fe^+3 (aq) + 1e- - -----> Fe^+2(aq)
oxidation half : 2NH2OH(aq) - 2e- ------> N2(g)
overall reaction : 2Fe^+3 (aq) +2NH2OH(aq)- - -----> 2 Fe^+2(aq) +N2(g)
reduing agent =NH2OH
oxidising agent =Fe3+
