When iron(III) oxide reacts with hydrochloric acid, iron(III) chloride and water are formed. How many grams of iron(III) chloride are formed from 10.0 g of iron(III) oxide and 10.0 g of hydrochloric acid

The mass of iron (III) chloride produced is 14.81 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

    .....(1)

Given mass of iron(III) oxide = 10.0 g

Molar mass of iron(III) oxide = 159.7 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Given mass of hydrochloric acid = 10.0 g

Molar mass of hydrochloric acid = 36.5 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

The chemical equation for the reaction of iron (III) oxide and hydrochloric acid follows:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

6 moles of hydrochloric acid reacts with 1 mole of iron (III) oxide

So, 0.274 moles of hydrochloric acid will react with = of iron (III) oxide

As, given amount of iron (III) oxide is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, hydrochloric acid is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

6 moles of hydrochloric acid produces 2 moles of iron (III) chloride

So, 0.274 moles of hydrochloric acid will produce = of iron (III) chloride

Now, calculating the mass of iron (III) chloride from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of iron (III) chloride = 162.2 g/mol

Moles of iron (III) chloride = 0.0913 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Hence, the mass of iron (III) chloride produced is 14.81 grams

answer; i believe the correct answer is (solid gold);

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
