Question

In 1901, Thomas Edison invented the nickel-iron battery. The following reaction takes place in the battery.

Fe(s) + 2 NiO(OH)(s) + 2 H2O(l) Fe(OH)2(s) + 2 Ni(OH)2(aq)

How many mole of Fe(OH)2, is produced when 4.25 mol Fe and 6.70 mol NiO(OH) react?

mol

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mole of Fe require 2 Moles of NiO(OH)

so for 4.25 mol of Fe and 6.70 mol of NiO(OH), Fe is the limiting reagent.

1 mole produces 1 mole of Fe(OH)2

4.25 moles will produce 4.25 moles of Fe(OH)2
