Question

Please help!! Tell the ratio of Fe to Cl2 in:

2Fe + 3Cl2 —-> 2FeCl3

(a) 3:2
(b) 2:3
(c) 2:2
(d) 2:2:3

pleaseeee help me

Answer 1

The ratio of
`Fe` to
`Cl_(2)` can be determined via the stoichiometric ratios of the reactants in the given equation:


`2Fe+3 Cl_(2)` →
`2Fe Cl_(3)`

where the numbers in front of the elements/molecules are the stoichiometric ratios. Since we are concerned with the two reactants, we can say that the ratio of
`Fe: Cl_(2)` is equal to
`2:3`.
