Consider the balanced reactionbelow:2FeBr3 + 3Na2S → Fe2S3 +6NaBrHow many moles of iron(III) sulfide,Fe2S3, would be produced from thecomplete reaction of 449 g iron(III)bromide, FeBr3?

Given :
• Molar mass of FeBr3 = 295.56 g/mol
,• Mass of FeBr3 = 449 g
The balanced reaction is given as :
[tex]2FeBr_3+3Na_2S\text{ }\Rightarrow Fe_2S_{3\text{ }}+\text{ 6NaBr }[/tex]by stoichiometry , we can see that :
• 2 moles of FeBr3 produces 1 moles of Fe2S3
Therefore ;
• 1.52 mol of febr3 produces X Fe2S3
,• X moles of FE2S3, = (1.52moles FeBr3 * 1 mol Fe2S3) /2 moles
FeBr3.
=0.755 moles
≈0.76 moles
• This means that 0.76 moles of Fe2S3 would be produced from the complete reaction of 449 g iron(III)bromide,
