  • Calculating Maximum Iron(II) Chloride Production from Iron and Chlorine
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Write the Balanced Chemical Equation:

    Fe(s) + Cl₂(g) → FeCl₂(s)

    2. Calculate the Moles of Iron:

    * Molar mass of iron (Fe) = 55.845 g/mol

    * Moles of Fe = (6.0 g) / (55.845 g/mol) = 0.107 mol

    3. Determine the Mole Ratio:

    * From the balanced equation, 1 mole of Fe reacts to produce 1 mole of FeCl₂.

    4. Calculate the Maximum Moles of Iron-II Chloride (FeCl₂):

    * Since the mole ratio is 1:1, the maximum moles of FeCl₂ produced is equal to the moles of Fe: 0.107 mol FeCl₂

    Answer: The maximum number of moles of iron-II chloride (FeCl₂) that can be produced is 0.107 mol.
