Question

Given the following data, determine the % by mass of Iron (III) (Fe3+) in a sample of an iron oxalate complex with the general formula Kz[Fex(C2O4)y].wH2O.
m(iron oxalate complex) used for stock sample = 0.0100 g
Vtotal (stock sample solution) = 25.00 mL
Valiquot (stock sample solution) = 1.00 mL
Vtotal (diluted sample solution) = 25.00 mL
Cdil(Fe3+) = 1.760 mg/L (from calibration curve)
Enter your answers in the boxes provided to 3 significant figures. Do not enter units.
Step 1: Given a concentration for your diluted sample solution, determine the concentration of Fe3+ in your stock sample solution:
C1 x V1 = C2 x V2
Cstock(Fe3+) = [Cdil(Fe3+) x Vtotal (diluted sample solution)] / Valiquot (stock sample solution)
= ____________ mg/L   
Step 2: Determine the mass of Fe3+ in your stock sample solution:
m(mg) = C(mg/L) x V(L)
m(Fe3+) in stock sample solution = Cstock(Fe3+) x [Vtotal (stock sample solution)/1000]
= ________________ mg
Step 3: Determine the percentage mass of Fe3+ in your sample (don’t forget to convert all masses to g or mg)

%m(Fe3+) = [m(Fe3+) / m(iron oxalate complex)] x 100
= ________________ %

Explanation / Answer

Ans. Iron oxalate (Potassium ferrioxalate), K3[Fe(C2O4)3]·3H2O.

            Molar mass of the complex = 1095.02758 g/ mol

#1. [Fe3+] stock = (C2 x V2)/ V1

                        = [(1.760 mg/ L) x 25.0 mL] / 1.0 mL

                        = 44.000 mg/ L

#2. Mass of Fe3+ = [Fe3+] stock x VTotal in liters

                        = (44.000 mg/ L) x (25/ 1000) L                              ; [1 L = 1000 mL]

                        = 1.100 mg

                        = 0.0011 g                                                                ; [1 g = 1000 mg]

#3. See the formula of complex, 1 mol complex consists of 1 mol Fe3+. Therefore, number of moles of the complex is equal to the number of mole of Fe3+.

Now,

            Moles of Fe3+ = Mass/ Molar mass

= 0.0011g / (55.847 g/ mol) = 1.96966 x 10-5 mol

So, moles of iron oxalate complex = Moles of Fe3+ = 1.96966 x 10-5 mol

Mass of complex = Number of moles x Molar mass

                                    = (1.96966 x 10-5 mol) x (1095.02758 g/ mol)

                                    = 0.021568 g

% Fe3+ = (Mass of Fe3+ / Mass of complex) x 100

            = (0.0011 g / 0.021568 g) x 100

            = 5.100 %
