The reaction is not balanced
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Reaction
2Fe(s)+3O₂(g)⇒2Fe₂O₃(s)
Required
The number of atoms
Solution
In a balanced chemical equation, the number of atoms in the compound that reacts (the reactants and products) will have the same number
Reactants : Fe(s)+O₂(g)
Fe = 2 atoms
O = 3 x 2 = 6 atoms
Products : Fe₂O₃(s)
Fe = 2 x 2 = 4 atoms
O = 2 x 3 = 6 atoms
The reaction is not balanced because the number of Fe atoms is not the same
The balanced reaction should be:
4Fe(s)+3O₂(g)⇒2Fe₂O₃(s)
The reaction is:
Cl2 + 2 KBr --> 2 KCl + Br2
Moles of KCl is
n = m /M = 12 /74 = 0.16 mol
As, twice the moles of KCl is producing from 1 mol of chlorine
mole of Cl2 = 0.16 /2 = 0.08 mol
Mass of Cl2
m /70 = 0.08 = 5.6 g
Hence, 5.6 g mol Cl2 consumed to produce KCl
