Question:

Determine the mass of ferrous ammonium sulfate hexahydrate, {eq}Fe(NH_4)_2(SO_4)_2 \cdot 6H_2O {/eq}, required to make 250.00 mL of a {eq}1.20 \times 10^{-3} {/eq} M solution of {eq}Fe^{2+} {/eq}. The molar mass of the hydrated salt is 392.13 g/mole.

Hydrated Salts:

Hydrated salts include water molecules in their structure that are not chemically bonded to the compound. The lack of a strong chemical bond makes it relatively easy to remove the water molecules via heating. Hydrates are identifiable by having a {eq}\rm \cdot XH_2O {/eq} included in their chemical formula or the term "hydrate" included in their name.
