The correct Answer is:
To find the mass of `FeSO4.7H2O` that must be added to 100 kg of wheat to achieve a concentration of 10 PPM of iron (Fe), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand PPM PPM (parts per million) is a way to express very dilute concentrations of substances. It is defined as: \[ \text{PPM} = \frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{total mass of solution}} \times 10^6 \] In this case, the solute is iron (Fe), and the total mass of the solution is the mass of wheat. ### Step 2: Set Up the Equation Given that we want 10 PPM of Fe in 100 kg of wheat, we can set up the equation: \[ 10 = \frac{\text{mass of Fe}}{100 \, \text{kg}} \times 10^6 \] ### Step 3: Convert Mass of Wheat to Grams Since 1 kg = 1000 grams, we convert 100 kg of wheat to grams: \[ 100 \, \text{kg} = 100 \times 1000 \, \text{g} = 100000 \, \text{g} \] ### Step 4: Solve for Mass of Fe Now, substitute the mass of wheat into the PPM equation: \[ 10 = \frac{\text{mass of Fe}}{100000 \, \text{g}} \times 10^6 \] Rearranging gives: \[ \text{mass of Fe} = \frac{10 \times 100000 \, \text{g}}{10^6} = 1 \, \text{g} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Mass of `FeSO4.7H2O` Next, we need to find out how much `FeSO4.7H2O` is required to provide 1 g of Fe. 1. **Molar Mass of `FeSO4.7H2O`:** - Molar mass of Fe = 56 g/mol - Molar mass of S = 32 g/mol - Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol (4 O in SO4) - Molar mass of H2O = 18 g/mol (7 H2O) Therefore, the molar mass of `FeSO4.7H2O` is: \[ 56 + 32 + (4 \times 16) + (7 \times 18) = 56 + 32 + 64 + 126 = 278 \, \text{g/mol} \] 2. **Calculate the Mass of `FeSO4.7H2O` Needed for 1 g of Fe:** Using the ratio of the masses: \[ \text{mass of } FeSO4.7H2O = \frac{278 \, \text{g}}{56 \, \text{g}} \times 1 \, \text{g} \approx 4.96 \, \text{g} \] ### Step 6: Round the Answer Rounding 4.96 g gives approximately: \[ \text{mass of } FeSO4.7H2O \approx 5 \, \text{g} \] ### Final Answer The mass of `FeSO4.7H2O` that must be added to 100 kg of wheat to achieve 10 PPM of Fe is approximately **5 grams**. ---
