For the following reaction, 6.12 grams of chlorine gas are mixed with excess iron. The reaction yields 8.25 grams of iron(III) chloride. 2 Fe (s) + 3 Cl2 (g) 2 FeCl3 (s) (1) What is the theoretical yield of iron(III) chloride ? grams (2) What is the percent yield for this reaction ? % For the following reaction, 6.12 grams of chlorine gas are mixed with excess iron.

same steps as before give it a shot
2 Fe (s) + 3 Cl2 (g)= 2 FeCl3 (s
express in mole fractions..
2 MOLES
I HAVE NEVER DONE THIS BEFOR
i HAVE DIFFICULT COMPREHENDING THIS STUFF
its ok.. thats why we go to school.
HOW DO WE START THIS
we are concerned only with Cl and FeCl3
so, how many moles of Cl react to give how many moles of FeCl3?
1 MOLE
no.. 3 moles of Cl2 react to give 2moles of FeCl3 (look at the equation)
right?
OKAY
so, 3*(gmw of Cl2) -> 2*(gmw of FeCl3)
so, amount of FeCl3 = 3*6.12/2 theoretically
=9.18g
hurry up
