2Fe + 6HCl -> 2FeCl3 + 3H2 If 7.0 moles of HCl is added to enough iron that the HCl is completely used up, how many
moles of hydrogen gas will be produced?


Sagot :

Answer: 3.5 moles of hydrogen gas will be produced.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

[tex]2Fe+6HCl\rightarrow 2FeCl_3+3H_2[/tex]

As HCl gets completely used up, [tex]HCl[/tex] is the limiting reagent.

According to stoichiometry :

6 moles of [tex]HCl[/tex] produces =  3 moles of [tex]H_2[/tex]

Thus 7.0 moles of  [tex]HCl[/tex] produces=[tex]\frac{3}{6}\times 7.0=3.5moles[/tex]  of [tex]H_2[/tex]

 Thus 3.5 moles of hydrogen gas will be produced.
