How many milliliters of 0.200 M FeBr3 are needed to react with Li2S to produce 2.75 g of Fe2S3 if the percent yield for the reactionis65.0%?

3 Li2S(aq) + 2 FeBr3(aq) -> Fe2S3(s) +6 LiBr(aq)

    Molar mass of Fe2S3 is 87.91g/mol.  

    So the 2.75 grams in the problem would be 31.28 millimoles.

    Therefore you need (31.28 millimoles)/0.65 of FeBr3,

    which is to say, you need 48.12 millimoles of FeBr3 to be available.

    From an 0.200 M solution, you need 5 x 48.12 mL = 242.4 mL.

    Make it 243 mL if you want "at least" 2.75 grams of Fe2S3.

    2.75 g Fe2S3 / 87.91 g/mol X (2 mol FeBr3 / 1 mol Fe2S3) X (1 L/0.200 mol FeBre) X (1000 mL/1 L) = 313 mL FeBr3 

    So, at 100% efficiency, you would require 313 mL. Because of the reduced % yield,

    313 mL X 1.35 = 422 mL
