A hydrate of iron (III) thiocynate `Fe(SCN)_(3)`, was found to contain `19% H_(2)O`. What is the formula of the hydrate? |
|
Answer» Let the hydrate be `Fe(SCN)_(3). mH_(2)O` Molecular weight of hydrate `=56+3xx(32+12+14)+18 m= 230+18m` `:. % of H_(2)O=(18mxx10)/(230+18m)= 19` or `m=3` `:.` Formula is `Fe(SCN)_(3).3H_(2)O`. |
