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`.
