1. Additional Practice: pgs 10-11
A student conducted an experiment to determine
whether the sample was Iron (II) Iodide or
Iron (III) Iodide. By heating the sample, the iodine
is released and the iron is left in the dish.
The student weighed an evaporating dish and the
sample, and then proceeded to heat the sample to
drive off the iodide. After ten minutes, the sample
was cooled and weighed again. The data from this
experiment is provided in the table below. Use this
data to answer the analysis questions that follow.

2. Data Table Mass of the empty evaporating dish 21.5g
Mass of the original sample
17.4g
Total mass of dish and sample before heating
38.9g
Total mass of dish and remaining solid after heating
23.7g

3. Analysis Questions: (Show work)
Determine the difference in mass before and after heating. (This is the mass of the iodine that was driven off by heating.)
Mass of iodine :  
Subtract the mass of iodine from the mass of the original sample. (This is the mass of the remaining solid, and is the mass of iron in the sample.)
Mass of iron:
38.9 g g
15.2 g
17.4 g g
2.2 g

4. 15.2 g x 1 mol = mol 0.12 126.9 g 2.2 g = mol x 1 mol 0.038 55.8 g

To determine the ratio of iodine to iron in the original sample, divide the moles of iodine by the moles of iron. Round your answer to the nearest whole number, this is the mole ratio; use it to construct the formula for the iron and iodine compound in your sample. Mole ratio: I / Fe Formula: FeI
