let's solve these questions.

13. i) Determine the formula of the hydrated salt.

  1. Calculate the moles of each component in a 100 g sample.

    Assume a 100 g sample of the hydrated salt.
    Mass of Iron (Fe\text{Fe}) = 20.2 g
    Mass of Sulphur (S\text{S}) = 11.5 g
    Mass of Oxygen (O\text{O}) = 23.0 g
    Mass of Water (H2O\text{H}_2\text{O}) = 45.3 g

    Moles of Fe=20.2 g56 g/mol=0.3607 mol\text{Fe} = \frac{20.2 \text{ g}}{56 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.3607 \text{ mol}
    Moles of S=11.5 g32 g/mol=0.3594 mol\text{S} = \frac{11.5 \text{ g}}{32 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.3594 \text{ mol}
    Moles of O=23.0 g16 g/mol=1.4375 mol\text{O} = \frac{23.0 \text{ g}}{16 \text{ g/mol}} = 1.4375 \text{ mol}
    Moles of H2O=45.3 g18 g/mol=2.5167 mol\text{H}_2\text{O} = \frac{45.3 \text{ g}}{18 \text{ g/mol}} = 2.5167 \text{ mol}

  2. Find the simplest whole-number mole ratio by dividing by the smallest number of moles (0.3594 mol).

    For Fe:0.36070.3594≈1\text{Fe}: \frac{0.3607}{0.3594} \approx 1
    For S:0.35940.3594=1\text{S}: \frac{0.3594}{0.3594} = 1
    For O:1.43750.3594≈4\text{O}: \frac{1.4375}{0.3594} \approx 4
    For H2O:2.51670.3594≈7\text{H}_2\text{O}: \frac{2.5167}{0.3594} \approx 7

    The ratio of Fe:S:O:H2O\text{Fe} : \text{S} : \text{O} : \text{H}_2\text{O} is 1:1:4:71:1:4:7.
    This indicates the anhydrous part is FeSO4\text{FeSO}_4 and there are 7 molecules of water of crystallization.

    The formula of the hydrated salt is FeSO4⋅7H2O\boxed{\text{FeSO}_4 \cdot 7\text{H}_2\text{O}}.

    13. ii) Calculate the concentration of the resulting salt solution in moles per litre.

  3. Calculate the moles of the hydrated salt.

    Given mass of hydrated salt = 6.95 g
    Given molecular mass of the salt = 278 g/mol

    Moles of salt=MassMolecular mass=6.95 g278 g/mol=0.025 mol\text{Moles of salt} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molecular mass}} = \frac{6.95 \text{ g}}{278 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.025 \text{ mol}
  4. Calculate the concentration in moles per litre.

    Given total volume = 250 cm3=0.250 dm3\text{cm}^3 = 0.250 \text{ dm}^3

    Concentration=Moles of saltVolume of solution in dm3=0.025 mol0.250 dm3=0.1 mol/dm3\text{Concentration} = \frac{\text{Moles of salt}}{\text{Volume of solution in dm}^3} = \frac{0.025 \text{ mol}}{0.250 \text{ dm}^3} = 0.1 \text{ mol/dm}^3

    The concentration of the resulting salt solution is 0.1 M\boxed{\text{0.1 M}}.

    14. (i) Calculate the mass in grams of lead (II) iodide formed.

  5. Calculate the moles of iodide ions (I−\text{I}^-).

    Given volume of iodide ions = 300 cm3=0.300 dm3\text{cm}^3 = 0.300 \text{ dm}^3
    Given molarity of iodide ions = 0.1 M

    Moles of I−=Molarity×Volume=0.1 mol/dm3×0.300 dm3=0.030 mol\text{Moles of } \text{I}^- = \text{Molarity} \times \text{Volume} = 0.1 \text{ mol/dm}^3 \times 0.300 \text{ dm}^3 = 0.030 \text{ mol}
  6. Use stoichiometry to find the moles of lead (II) iodide (PbI2\text{PbI}_2) formed.

    The balanced equation is: Pb2+(aq)+2I−(aq)→PbI2(s)\text{Pb}^{2+} (aq) + 2\text{I}^- (aq) \rightarrow \text{PbI}_2 (s)
    From the equation, 2 moles of I−\text{I}^- react to produce 1 mole of PbI2\text{PbI}_2.

    Moles of PbI2=12×Moles of I−=12×0.030 mol=0.015 mol\text{Moles of } \text{PbI}_2 = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Moles of } \text{I}^- = \frac{1}{2} \times 0.030 \text{ mol} = 0.015 \text{ mol}
  7. Calculate the molar mass of lead (II) iodide.

    Atomic mass of Pb\text{Pb} = 207
    Atomic mass of I\text{I} = 127

    Molar mass of PbI2=207+(2×127)=207+254=461 g/mol\text{Molar mass of } \text{PbI}_2 = 207 + (2 \times 127) = 207 + 254 = 461 \text{ g/mol}
  8. Calculate the mass of lead (II) iodide formed.

    Mass of PbI2=Moles×Molar mass=0.015 mol×461 g/mol=6.915 g\text{Mass of } \text{PbI}_2 = \text{Moles} \times \text{Molar mass} = 0.015 \text{ mol} \times 461 \text{ g/mol} = 6.915 \text{ g}

    The mass of lead (II) iodide formed is 6.915 g\boxed{\text{6.915 g}}.

    14. (ii) Identify the colour of the product formed in (i).
    The product formed is lead (II) iodide (PbI2\text{PbI}_2).
    The colour of lead (II) iodide is yellow\boxed{\text{yellow}}.
