The reaction of iron metal and chlorine gas to give iron{III) chloride is illustrated below.

a. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction.

b. Beginning with 10.0 g of iron, what mass of Cl2, in grams, is required for the complete reaction? What mass of FeCl3can be produced?

c. If only 18.5 g of FeC13is obtained from 10.0 g of iron and excess Cl2, what is the percent yield?

d. If 10.0 g each of iron and chlorine are combined, what is the theoretical yield of iron(III) chloride?
