To calculate the amount of Fe3Cl that can be obtained from the Cl2 in the tank, we need to follow these steps:
1. Determine the number of moles of Cl2 present in the tank using the ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
Where:
P = pressure (4 atm)
V = volume (100 L)
n = number of moles
R = ideal gas constant (0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)
T = temperature in Kelvin (127 °C = 400 K)
2. Calculate the number of moles of Cl2:
n = (P * V) / (R * T)
3. The reaction between Fe and Cl2 to form Fe3Cl is:
2Fe + 3Cl2 -> 2Fe3Cl
4. Determine the stoichiometry of the reaction:
3 moles of Cl2 are required to produce 2 moles of Fe3Cl.
5. Calculate the amount of Fe3Cl that can be obtained:
By using the mole ratio from the balanced equation and the number of moles of Cl2 calculated in step 2, you can determine how many moles of Fe3Cl can be produced.
6. Convert the moles of Fe3Cl to grams if needed:
You can use the molar mass of Fe3Cl to convert moles to grams if the question requires the answer in grams.
By following these steps, you can accurately calculate the amount of Fe3Cl that can be obtained using the Cl2 present in the tank.
