How many moles of SnCl₂ will be produced if 85.3 g of FeCl₃ is reacted with an excess of Sn for the following reaction: 2 FeCl₃(s)+ 3 Sn(s)→ 3 SnCl₂(s)+ 2 Fe(s)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molar mass of FeCl3 is approximately 162.2 g/mol. Therefore, 85.3 g of FeCl3 is equivalent to 85.3 g / 162.2 g/mol = 0.526 mol of FeCl3. According to the balanced equation, 2 moles of FeCl3 produce 3 moles of SnCl2. Thus, 0.526 mol of FeCl3 will produce (3/2) * 0.526 mol = 0.789 mol of SnCl2.
