Question

Using the following equation: 3H2SO4 + 2Fe - +Fe2(SO4)3 + 3H2

How many moles of H2SO4 will react with 8 moles of Fe?

Answer 1

12 moles of H₂SO₄

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction equation is given as;

3H₂SO₄ + 2Fe⁻ → Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂

From the balanced reaction equation:

Number of moles of Fe = 8moles

So;

2 mole of Fe will react with 3 moles of H₂SO₄

8 moles of Fe will therefore yield
`(8 x 3)/(2)` = 12 moles of H₂SO₄
