___ FeCl3 (aq) + ___ NaOH (aq) --> Fe(OH)3 (___) + ___ NaCl (___)
Balance the reaction, and enter phases for the products. You do not need to submit this for this assignment, but it will help you solve the problem.
A 0.532 M NaOH solution is added to 39.4 mL of a 0.398 M FeCl3 solution. What is the volume of NaOH in mL that must be added to completely react with the FeCl3 solution?
The balanced equation is
FeCl3(aq) + 3NaOH(aq) Fe(OH)3(s) + 3NaCl(aq)
The volume of NaoH required
V1 = ?
M1 = 0.532 M NaOH
V2 = 39.4 mL
M2 = 0.398 M FeCl3
V1M1 = 3V2M2 [3 moles of NaOH is required to neutralize each mole of FeCl3]
V1 =
V1 = 47.044 / 0.532
V1 = 88.428 mL
Therefore, the volume of NaOH that must be added to completely react with the FeCl3 solution is 88.428 mL
