According to the following reaction, how many moles of Fe(OH)2 can form from 175.0 mL of 0.227 M LiOH solution? Assume that there is excess FeCl2.
FeCl2(aq) + 2 LiOH(aq) → Fe(OH)2(s) + 2 LiCl(aq)
1 answer
The number of moles of Fe(OH)2 that can form is equal to the number of moles of LiOH present in the solution. Since the solution is 0.227 M LiOH, the number of moles of LiOH present is 0.227 moles/L x 175.0 mL = 39.675 moles. Therefore, 39.675 moles of Fe(OH)2 can form from 175.0 mL of 0.227 M LiOH solution.
