Question

How many moles of FeCl3 could be produced from 6.1 moles of Cly?
2 Fe + 3Cl2 —> 2 FeCl2

Answer 1

4.1 moles of FeCl₃

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction expression is given as shown below:

2Fe + 3Cl₂ → 2FeCl₃

Number of moles of Cl₂ = 6.1moles

So;

We know that from the balanced reaction expression:

3 moles of Cl₂ will produce 2 moles of FeCl₃

Therefore 6.1moles of Cl₂ will produce
`(6.1 x 2)/(3)` = 4.1 moles of FeCl₃

The number of moles is 4.1 moles of FeCl₃
