Iron reacts with chlorine gas to form iron (III) chloride. Given this, answer the following.
(a) What is the balanced chemical reaction?
(b) Given 10.0 g of iron, what mass, in grams, of chlorine gas would be required to complete the reaction?
(c) If only 18.5 g of FeCl3 is formed from 10.0 g of iron and excess chlorine gas, what is the percent yield of the reaction?
(d) If 10.0 g each of iron and chlorine gas are combined, what is the theoretical yield of iron (III) chloride?
