In the reaction fecl2 + 2naoh -> fe(oh)2(s) + 2nacl, if 6 moles of fecl2 are added to 6 moles of na0h, how many moles of naoh would be used up in the reaction? - apex a. 3 b. 6 c. 2 d. 1

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 6 mole

Explanation :

Given moles of = 6 moles

Given moles of = 6 moles

First we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 moles of react with 2 moles of

So, 6 moles of react with moles of

From this we conclude that, is an excess reagent and is a limiting reagent because the given moles are less than the required moles and it limits the formation of product.

Thus, the number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction = Required moles of NaOH - Given moles of NaOH

The number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction = 12 - 6 = 6 moles

Therefore, the number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction will be, 60 moles

a pan containing water is placed in a positio n where it is exposed to a 10 mile per hour wind. the pan contains a uniform depth of 1.27 cm of water, is quite wide, and has a length of 2.44 m in the wind direction. the water in the pan is at a constant temperature of 15.5 °c.
