Question

Calculate the percentage of iron in K3Fe(CN)6. [K = 39, Fe = 56, C = 12, N = 14]

WhatsApp

Answer

Molecular weight of K3Fe(CN)6 = 3(39) + 56 + 6(12 + 14)

= 117 + 56 + 156

= 329 g

329 g of K3Fe(CN)6 contains 56 g of iron

∴ 100 g of K3Fe(CN)6 contains 56\over329 × 100 = 17.02% of iron.

Hence, percentage by weight of iron in K3Fe(CN)6 is 17.02%
