Answer:
4 mol Fe
5 mol FeCl₃
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced equation
2 Fe + 3 Cl₂ ⇒ 2 FeCl₃
Step 2: Calculate how much iron (Fe) is needed to produce 4 moles of FeCl₃
According to the balanced equation, the molar ratio of Fe to FeCl₃ is 2:2.
4 mol FeCl₃ × 2 mol Fe/2 mol FeCl₃ = 4 mol Fe
Step 3: Calculate how much FeCl₃ is produced when 5 moles of Fe react in excess chlorine
According to the balanced equation, the molar ratio of Fe to FeCl₃ is 2:2.
5 mol Fe × 2 mol FeCl₃/2 mol Fe = 5 mol FeCl₃
