Explanation / Answer

As clear in the given equation the stoichiometry is:

Two moles of of ferrous ammonium sulphate reacts with three mole of oxalic acid and one mole of peroxide and three moles of potassium oxalate.

The moles of potassium oxalate = 0.01 moles ( limiting reagent)

ferrous ammonium sulphate = 0.01

oxalic acid = 0.033

peroxide = 0.02

Three moles of potasssium oxalate will give two moles of potassium iron (iii) oxalate.

So 0.01 moles of potassium oxalate will give 0.00667 moles of potassium iron (iii) oxalate

Molecular weight of potassium iron (iii) oxalate = 491.24

So amount of potassium iron (iii) oxalate formed = moles X mol wt = 0.00667 X 491.24 = 3.27 g

So the theoretical yield = 3.27g
