Question

2Fe + 3Cl2 → 2FeCl3 which of the following options gives the correct reactant ratio?

Answer 1

Answer: The reactant ratio in the given chemical equation will be: $Fe:Cl_2=2:3$

Explanation:

Mole ratio is defined as the ratio of the amount of moles of two substances that are participating in a chemical reaction.

In the given chemical equation:

$2Fe+3Cl_2\rightarrow 2FeCl_3$

The reactants are Fe and $Cl_2$ and the product is $FeCl_3$

The mole ratio is basically the stoichiometric ratio of the chemical compounds taking part in a chemical reaction.

The mole ratio of reactants is stoichiometric ratio of Fe and $Cl_2$, which is:

$Fe:Cl_2=2:3$

Hence, the reactant ratio in the given chemical equation will be: $Fe:Cl_2=2:3$
