how many moles of iron would have been used up if 45.0g of copper were to be produced?

is it # mols Fe = 45.0gCu x 1mol/63.5g = 0.709molFe ?

Wouldn't it depend on the reaction?
Answered by Lily
copper produced from iron + copper II chloride
Answered by bobpursley
The balanced equation is ...

2Fe + 3CuCl2 >> 2FeCl3 + 3Cu

45gCu*63.5gCu/molCu*2molesFe/3molesCu

moles of copper produced/moles of iron used ratio
