4.01g * 1mol/392.17g = 0.01 mol FeSO4∙(NH4)2SO4∙ 6H2O

0.01 mol * 1/1 = 0.01 mol FeC2O4

0.01 mol * 4/6 = 0.00667 mol K3[Fe(C2O4)3]*3H2O

0.00667 mol * 491.258g/1mol = 3.28 g K3[Fe(C2O4)3]*3H2O

0.01 mol * 2/6 = 0.0033 mol Fe(OH)3

0.0033 * 2/2 = 0.0033 mol K3[Fe(C2O4)3]*3H2O

0.0033 mol * 491.258g/1mol = 1.62 g K3[Fe(C2O4)3]*3H2O

3.28 + 1.62 = 4.9 g K3[Fe(C2O4)3]*3H2O

To calculate the theoretical yield of the iron complex, we need to use stoichiometry and the given amounts of the reactants. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to calculate it:

Step 1: Convert the given mass of ferrous ammonium sulphate to moles.
The molar mass of ferrous ammonium sulphate, FeSO4*(NH4)2SO4 * 6H2O, can be calculated by adding the molar masses of its components.
FeSO4: 55.85 g/mol (Fe) + 32.07 g/mol (S) + 4 x 16.00 g/mol (O) = 151.91 g/mol
(NH4)2SO4: 2 x (14.01 g/mol (N) + 4 x 1.01 g/mol (H)) + 32.07 g/mol (S) + 4 x 16.00 g/mol (O) = 132.14 g/mol
6H2O: 6 x (2 x 1.01 g/mol (H) + 16.00 g/mol (O)) = 108.00 g/mol

Total molar mass = 151.91 g/mol + 132.14 g/mol + 108.00 g/mol = 392.05 g/mol

Now, divide the given mass of 4.0 gram by the molar mass:
4.0 g / 392.05 g/mol = 0.0102 mol of ferrous ammonium sulphate

Step 2: Use stoichiometry to determine the moles of the iron complex produced.
From the balanced chemical equation, we can see that the stoichiometric ratio between ferrous ammonium sulphate and the iron complex (FeC2O4) is 1:1. This means that for every 1 mol of ferrous ammonium sulphate, we obtain 1 mol of the iron complex.

Therefore, the moles of the iron complex produced will be the same as the moles of ferrous ammonium sulphate: 0.0102 mol.

Step 3: Convert the moles of the iron complex to grams.
To convert from moles to grams, we need to use the molar mass of the iron complex.
FeC2O4: 55.85 g/mol (Fe) + 2 x 12.01 g/mol (C) + 4 x 16.00 g/mol (O) = 143.94 g/mol

Multiply the moles of the iron complex by the molar mass:
0.0102 mol x 143.94 g/mol = 1.47 grams

Therefore, the theoretical yield of the iron complex is 1.47 grams.

To calculate the theoretical yield of the iron complex, we need to determine the limiting reactant.

First, let's convert the mass of ferrous ammonium sulphate to moles:

Given:
Mass of ferrous ammonium sulphate = 4.0 grams

Molar Mass of ferrous ammonium sulphate (FeSO4*(NH4)2SO4 * 6H2O):
Fe = 55.845 g/mol
S = 32.06 g/mol
O = 16.00 g/mol
N = 14.01 g/mol
H = 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of (NH4)2SO4 * 6H2O:
2(N) + 8(H) + S + 4(O) + 6(H) + 12(O) = 132.14 g/mol

Total Molar Mass of ferrous ammonium sulphate:
55.845 + 32.06 + 4(16.00) + 2(14.01) + 132.14 = 392.13 g/mol

Moles of ferrous ammonium sulphate = Mass / Molar Mass
Moles of ferrous ammonium sulphate = 4.0 g / 392.13 g/mol ≈ 0.0102 mol

Now, let's calculate the moles of oxalate used in the reactions:

Molar Mass of H2C2O4•2H2O:
2(H) + 2(C) + 4(O) + 2(H) + 16(O) = 90.03 g/mol

Moles of H2C2O4•2H2O = Moles of ferrous ammonium sulphate (1:1 stoichiometric ratio)
Moles of H2C2O4•2H2O = 0.0102 mol

Now, let's calculate the moles and theoretical yield of the iron complex:

Using the given balanced equations, the stoichiometric ratios are as follows:
1 mol FeSO4*(NH4)2SO4 * 6H2O → 1 mol FeC2O4

Moles of FeC2O4 = Moles of ferrous ammonium sulphate = 0.0102 mol

Finally, let's convert moles of FeC2O4 to grams:

Molar Mass of FeC2O4:
Fe = 55.845 g/mol
C = 12.01 g/mol
O = 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of FeC2O4 = 55.845 + 2(12.01) + 4(16.00) = 143.87 g/mol

Theoretical yield of iron complex = Moles of FeC2O4 × Molar Mass of FeC2O4
Theoretical yield of iron complex = 0.0102 mol × 143.87 g/mol ≈ 1.47 grams

Therefore, the theoretical yield of the iron complex is approximately 1.47 grams.
