1. Determine the Formula:
* Iron(III) sulfate is Fe₂(SO₄)₃
2. Calculate the Molar Mass:
* Fe: 55.845 g/mol (x 2 = 111.69 g/mol)
* S: 32.065 g/mol (x 3 = 96.195 g/mol)
* O: 15.9994 g/mol (x 12 = 191.9928 g/mol)
* Total molar mass of Fe₂(SO₄)₃ = 399.8778 g/mol
3. Convert Grams to Moles:
* Use the molar mass as a conversion factor:
(5.67 g Fe₂(SO₄)₃) x (1 mol Fe₂(SO₄)₃ / 399.8778 g Fe₂(SO₄)₃) = 0.0142 moles Fe₂(SO₄)₃
Therefore, there are 0.0142 moles of formula units in 5.67 g of iron(III) sulfate.
