Answer: The amount of chlorine gas needed to react are 6.6 moles.
Explanation:
We are given:
Moles of iron = 4.4 moles
For the given chemical equation:
[tex]2Fe(s)+3Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2FeCl_3(s)[/tex]
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
2 moles of iron reacts with 3 moles of chlorine gas
So, 4.4 moles of iron will react with = [tex]\frac{3}{2}\times 4.4=6.6mol[/tex] of chlorine gas
Hence, the amount of chlorine gas needed to react are 6.6 moles.
