  1. It is 56[Fe]*2+(32[S]+4x16[O])x3+5x(2x1[H]+16[...

    You forgot. It must be Fe2(SO4)3.5H2O


  2. The correct formula for Iron (III) sulfate penta hydrate is

    Fe2(SO4)3.5H2O

    (Iron (III) has a valency of 3+)

    molar mass is obtained by summing the atomic mass of all atoms in the molecule. The atomic mass of an element is the weight in g of 1 mole of that element so the units are g/mol

    So molar mass = (2 x 55.85 g/mol ) + (3 x 32.07g/mol)  + (17 x 16.00g/mol ) + (10 x 1.008g/mol) = 489.99 g/mol

  3. Anhydrous Iron (III) sulfate is 399.87 g/mole.

    The pentahydrate is 489.94 g/mole.
