The balanced chemical reaction would be
<span>fecl2 + 2naoh = fe(oh)2(s) + 2nacl
Initial amounts of the reactants are given, so, we need to determine which of the reactants is the limiting reactant and use this amount to determine what is asked. However, what is being asked is how many of the FeCl2 is used in the reaction, showing that it is NaOH that is the limiting reactants. Thus, we just use the initial amount of NaOH and relate the substances by the chemical reaction as follows:
6 mol NaOH ( 1 mol FeCl2 / 2 mol NaOH ) = 3 mol FeCl2
Therefore, 3 moles of FeCl2 is used up and 3 moles of FeCl2 is also left after the reaction.</span>
Solute is a substance that dissolves in a solvent in order to form a solution. Solutes can be in liquid, gaseous or solid phase. Normally, in a solution, solutes are in a lesser amount than the solvents. When a solution has the maximum amount of solutes it can dissolve, then the solution is said to be saturated.
Answer: An alpha-particle is identical to the nucleus of a normal (atomic mass four) helium atom i.e. a doubly ionised helium atom. Alpha particles (also termed alpha radiation or alpha rays) was the first nuclear radiation to be discovered, beta particles and gamma rays were identified soon after.
