Answer:
17.2 moles of Iron are required
Explanation:
Based on the chemical reaction:
2Fe + 3S → Fe₂S₃
<em>2 moles of Fe react with 3 moles of S to produce 1 mole of Iron (III) sulfide</em>
<em />
Assuming and excess of sulfur, if we want to obtain 8.6 moles of Fe₂S₃ are required:
8.6 moles Fe₂S₃ * (2 moles Fe / 1mol Fe₂S₃) =
<h3>17.2 moles of Iron are required</h3>
