The correct answer is that 1.125 mol of NaOH is available, and 60.75 g of FeCl₃ can be consumed.
The mass of NaOH is 45 g
The molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol
The moles of NaOH = mass / molar mass
= 45 / 40
= 1.125
Thus, 1.125 mol NaOH is available
3 NaOH + FeCl₃ ⇒ Fe (OH)₃ + 3NaCl
3 mol of NaOH react with 1 mol of FeCl₃
1.125 moles of NaOH will react with x moles of FeCl₃
x = 1.125 / 3
x = 0.375 mol
0.375 mol FeCl₃ can take part in reaction
The molar mass of FeCl₃ is 162 g/mol
The mass of FeCl₃ = moles × mass
= 0.375 × 162
= 60.75 g
Thus, the amount of FeCl₃, which can be consumed is 60.75 g
