Question

How many moles of FeCl3 could be produced from 6.1 moles of Cly? 2 Fe + 3Cl2 —> 2 FeCl2

Answer 1

Answer:

4.1 moles of FeCl₃

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as shown below:

         2Fe    +       3Cl₂   →    2FeCl₃

Number of moles of Cl₂  = 6.1moles

So;

  We know that from the balanced reaction expression:

                       3 moles of Cl₂ will produce 2 moles of FeCl₃

Therefore    6.1moles of Cl₂ will produce $\frac{6.1 x 2}{3}$   = 4.1 moles of FeCl₃

The number of moles is 4.1 moles of FeCl₃
