trihydrate.

Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2·6H2O + H2C2O4·2H2O FeC2O4·2H2O + (NH4)2SO4 + H2SO4 + 6H2O


15𝑔
Mol of (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2·6H2O =
392𝑔/𝑚𝑜𝑙

= 0.04 mol
Mol of H2C2O4·2H2O = 0.1 M x 0.075 L
= 0.0075 mol

Based on the chemical equation above;


1 mol of (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2.6H2O = 1 mol of FeC2O4.2H2O
0.0075 mol = 0.0075 mol
Theoretical mass of FeC2O4.2H2O = 0.0075 mol x 179 g/mol
= 1.3425 g
