Question 9

Xg of a pure sample of iron (II) sulphide reacted completely with excess dilute hydrochloric acid to give 3.20g of iron (II) chloride according to the following equation: FeS\(_{(s)}\) + 2HCI\(_{(aq)}\) ---> FeCl\(_{2(aq)}\) + H\(_2\)S\(_{(g)}\).

(a) Mention one method apart from heating by which the reaction can be made to proceed faster

(b) Calculate the value of X. [CI = 35.5, Fe = 56; FeS = 88g mol\(^{-1}\)]
