SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the number of moles of Fe ion in a 5 mL solution of Fe(NO3)3 with a concentration of 0.200 mol/L. The correct calculation involves multiplying the concentration (0.200 mol/L) by the volume in liters (0.005 L), resulting in 0.001 moles of Fe ion. There is no need to divide by three, as each formula unit of Fe(NO3)3 yields one Fe3+ ion.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of molarity and its calculation
  • Basic knowledge of chemical formulas and ions
  • Familiarity with unit conversions (mL to L)
  • Concept of stoichiometry in chemical reactions
NEXT STEPS
  • Study molarity calculations in detail
  • Learn about stoichiometry and its applications in chemical equations
  • Explore the properties and behavior of transition metal ions
  • Investigate the role of nitrate ions in coordination chemistry
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and anyone involved in chemical calculations or stoichiometry in laboratory settings.

Homework Statement



If you have 5 mL of Fe(NO3)3(aq) at a concentration of 0.200 mol/L

How many moles of Fe ion do you have?

The Attempt at a Solution



Would it simply be (0.200) * (0.005) = answer


or would you have to divide that answer by three since one Fe per three NO3?

THANK YOU!

There is only ONE Fe3+ ion for each Fe(NO3)3(aq). I think that answers your question.
