Question

2 FeCl2 + Cl2 → 2 FeCl3
If 1.1898 moles of FeCl2 are reacted, how many moles of Cl2 will also be reacted?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.5949 mol Cl2

Explanation:

1. Balance equation - that was given

2. Identify the "given" and what is being asked

-Given moles of FeCl2, Find moles of Cl2

List other known quantites - 1 mol Cl2 = 2 mol FeCl2 (given based on the equation)

3. Prepare a concept map = mol FeCl2 -> mol O2

(Equation should be set up like: 1mol Cl2/2 mol FeCl2)

4. Cancel units and calculate:

----> 1.1898 mol FeCl2 x 1 mol Cl2/2 mol FeCl2 = 0.5949 mol Cl2 will be reacted
