Answer to Question #145049 in General Chemistry for Martana Eldridge

Question

Consider the reaction:
Fe(s)+Cl2(g)→FeCl3(s).

How many moles of chlorine gas react with 0.260 mol of metallic iron?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.


How many moles of iron(III) chloride are produced?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer 1

2Fe_(s)+3Cl_2(g)→2FeCl_3(s).

Moles of Cl₂= (3/2)(0.260)

=0.39moles

Moles of FeCl₃

Fe: FeCl₃

1 : 1

Therefore, moles of FeCl₃= 0.260moles
