Answer: B. 4 moles Fe and 3 moles CO2

Explanation:

write a balanced chemical reaction

that is FeO3 + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3CO2

2 moles of Fe2O3 reacted with 3 x2=6 moles of Co to form Fe and CO2 therefore CO was in excess and Fe2O3 was limiting reagent.

use the mole ratio to determine the moles of each product.

that is the mole ratio 0f Fe2O3 : Fe is 1:2 therefore the moles of Fe = 2x2=4 moles

the mole ratio of Fe2CO3 : CO2 is 1: 3 therefore the moles of Co2 = 2 x3 = 6 moles

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium with hydrochloric acid (HCI (aq) to form Magnesium chloride and

ivann1987 [24]

Mg (s) + HCl (aq) → MgCl₂(s) + H₂(g)

Looking at the equation :

We have 1 Mg at the left hand side and 1 Mg as well on the right hand side.
So that is balanced.

We have 1 H at the left hand side and 2 H on the right hand side.
So that is not balanced. Same for Chlorine. Cl.

We add 2 to the HCl on the left hand side and that balances it.

Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) → MgCl₂(s) + H₂(g)
