My issue is that every time I try to calculate it I get a different value of mols!

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-08-09] [Hit: ]
000434moles of kmno4 →each mol of kmno4 reacts with 5 moles of feso4, so 0.000434*5= 0.0.1M →0.1mol/L*0.......
I have this and I want to calculate the amount of FeSO4 that reacts with KMnO4:
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
10FeSO4 + 8H2SO4 + 2KMnO4 -----> K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 5Fe2(SO4)3 + 8H2O
 25ml        21.7ml
 0.1M        0.02M
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
My issue is that every time I try to calculate it I get a different value of mols! Look:

Try #1)
2KMnO4 , 10FeSO4 →1 moles of kmno4 react with 5 moles of feso4

Try #2)
2KMnO4
21.7ml
0.02M →0.02mol/L*0.0217L =0.000434moles of kmno4 →each mol of kmno4 reacts with 5 moles of feso4, so 0.000434*5= 0.00217moles of feso4

Try #3)
10FeSO4
25ml
0.1M →0.1mol/L*0.025L =0.0025moles of feso4 →each 5 moles of feso4 react with 1 mol of kmno4, so 0.0025/5= 0.0005moles of kmno4



See? So how many moles of kmno4 are there? 1, 0.000434, or 0.0005?
How many moles of feso4 are there? 5, 0.00217, or 0.0025?

Your procedure is dead on, but your reasoning is not.

On try number 3, all you have done is proved that you don't have enough KMnO4 to use up ALL the FeSO4. Your calculation shows that you need 0.0005, moles but you only have 0.000434. This is a "limiting reagent" problem which showed you that there is not enough moles of KMnO4 in 21.7 mL of a 0.02 M solution to use up all the FeSO4.
