2 Fe (s) + 6 HCl (aq) -> 2 FeCL3 (s) + 3 H2 (g)
What is the mole ratio of Fe reacted to FeCl3 produced?
Use the coefficients in the balanced equation.
thank you!
To determine the mole ratio of Fe (iron) reacted to FeCl3 (iron(III) chloride) produced in the given chemical equation, we need to compare the coefficients in front of the respective compounds.
In the balanced equation:
2 Fe (s) + 6 HCl (aq) -> 2 FeCl3 (s) + 3 H2 (g)
we can see that the coefficient in front of Fe is 2 and the coefficient in front of FeCl3 is also 2. This means that for every 2 moles of Fe reacted, we obtain 2 moles of FeCl3 produced.
Therefore, the mole ratio of Fe reacted to FeCl3 produced is 2:2, which can be simplified to 1:1.
