![### Chemical Composition Calculation
The percent by mass of **iron (III)** in **Fe₂S₃** is:
`[Enter your answer here] %`
---
\[ Submit Answer \]
### Explanation:
To calculate the percentage by mass of iron (III) in iron(III) sulfide (Fe₂S₃), follow these steps:
1. **Determine the molar mass of Fe₂S₃:**
- Iron (Fe): Atomic mass = 55.85 u (approx)
- Sulfur (S): Atomic mass = 32.07 u (approx)
Formula: (2 * 55.85) + (3 * 32.07)
Calculation: 111.70 + 96.21 = 207.91 u
2. **Calculate the mass percentage of iron:**
- Mass of iron in Fe₂S₃ = 2 * 55.85 = 111.70 u
- Total molar mass of Fe₂S₃ = 207.91 u
Percentage by mass = (Mass of iron / Total molar mass) * 100
- Percentage by mass = (111.70 / 207.91) * 100 ≈ 53.73 %
Fill the answer and submit it in the provided system.
Note: Make sure to double-check your atomic masses with the periodic table as values being used in standard calculations might slightly differ based on precision.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F0e109430-7b34-4d38-8cab-38f4ccc5aed5%2F62e15a8c-5a20-4093-a6fe-a4e78992b9f5%2Fyla2oz7_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
