stoichiometry problem
« on: October 13, 2005, 07:53:39 PM »
hello, this problem is tough, and I did everything very carefully but it doesn't turn out correctly.


Iron (II) reacts with the dichromate ion in acidic solution rapidly and completely according to the following reaction:
14H+ (aq) + 6Fe2+ (aq) + Cr2O72- (aq) ===> 6Fe3+ (aq) + 2Cr3+ (aq) + 7H2O (l).  How many milliliters of 0.0124 M Cr2O72- are required to react with 0.742g of Fe(NH4)26H2O, a source of Fe2+ ion?

At one point I got 25.4 mL, and at another point I got 152.6 mL.

That website helps, but you should know how to do it. Do like I do: First I do the problem out. Then I check everything with that website.

I get 49.9 mL (~50mL).
