Question

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

How many moles of Fe2 (SO4)3, will be produced when 10
moles of Fe is consumed?

Answer 1

5 moles of Fe₂(SO₄)₃ will be produced

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Fe₂(SO₄)₃ = ?

Number of moles of Fe react = 10 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3H₂SO₄ + 2Fe → Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂

Now we will compare the moles of iron and Fe₂(SO₄)₃ .

Fe : Fe₂(SO₄)₃

2 : 1

10 : 1/2×10 = 5 mol

5 moles of Fe₂(SO₄)₃ will be produced.
