1) Write the chemical equation.

$2Fe+3H_2SO_4\rightarrow Fe_2(SO_4)_3+3H_2$

2) Moles of H2 produced from Fe.

The molar ratio between Fe and H2 is 2 mol Fe: 3 mol H2.

10 mol Fe.

$mol\text{ }H_2=10\text{ }mol\text{ }Fe*\frac{3\text{ }mol\text{ }H_2}{2\text{ }mol\text{ }Fe}=15\text{ }mol\text{ }H_2$

15 mol H2 is expected to be produced.
