Correct answer: 4.95TO4.97
- Interpret 10 ppm of iron in 100 kg wheat
For solids, means: So, in wheat, required iron mass is:
Thus, we need 1 g of Fe.
- Find molar mass of ferrous sulphate heptahydrate
Formula:
Molar mass of :
Molar mass of :
Total molar mass:
- Find mass fraction of iron in the salt
Each mole of contains mole Fe, i.e. g Fe.
So, mass fraction of Fe in the salt is:
Hence, mass of salt needed for g Fe is:
- Calculate
More precisely,
- Final answer
Required amount of is:
