Given the following equation: 8 Fe + S8 ---> 8 FeS
How many moles of iron are needed to react with 16.0 moles of sulfur?
A FULL STEP EXPLANATION WILL BE APPRECIATED

To react with 16.0 moles of sulfur we need 128.0 moles of iron (Fe).

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles Sulfur = 16.0 moles

Step 2: The balanced equation

8 Fe + S8 → 8 FeS

Step 3: Calculate mole Fe

For 8 moles Fe we need 1 mol S8 to produce 8 moles FeS

For 16.0 moles of Sulfur we need 8*16.0 = 128.0 moles

To react with 16.0 moles of sulfur we need 128.0 moles of iron (Fe).
