Answer:
1.48 moles of SeCl6 are needed
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the reaction:
SeCl6 + O2 → SeO2 + 3Cl2
1 mole of SeCl6 reacts producing 3 moles of Cl2.
To solve this question we need to use the conversion factor:
1mol SeCl6 = 3mol Cl2
As we want to produce 4.45 moles of Cl2, we need:
4.45 mol Cl2 * (1mol SeCl6 / 3mol Cl2) =
1.48 moles of SeCl6 are needed
