To find the total mass of the reactants, we need to calculate the mass of each reactant and then add them together.
For FeCl3 (iron chloride), we have 1 iron atom (Fe) with a mass of 56 amu and 3 chlorine atoms (Cl) with a mass of 35 amu each. So the mass of FeCl3 is:
(1 atom Fe x 56 amu) + (3 atoms Cl x 35 amu) = 56 amu + 105 amu = 161 amu
For H2O (water), we have 2 hydrogen atoms (H) with a mass of 1 amu each and 1 oxygen atom (O) with a mass of 16 amu. So the mass of H2O is:
(2 atoms H x 1 amu) + (1 atom O x 16 amu) = 2 amu + 16 amu = 18 amu
Adding the mass of FeCl3 and H2O together:
161 amu + 18 amu = 179 amu
Therefore, the total mass of the reactants is 179 amu.
For FeCl3 (iron chloride), we have 1 iron atom (Fe) with a mass of 56 amu and 3 chlorine atoms (Cl) with a mass of 35 amu each. So the mass of FeCl3 is:
(1 atom Fe x 56 amu) + (3 atoms Cl x 35 amu) = 56 amu + 105 amu = 161 amu
For H2O (water), we have 2 hydrogen atoms (H) with a mass of 1 amu each and 1 oxygen atom (O) with a mass of 16 amu. So the mass of H2O is:
(2 atoms H x 1 amu) + (1 atom O x 16 amu) = 2 amu + 16 amu = 18 amu
Adding the mass of FeCl3 and H2O together:
161 amu + 18 amu = 179 amu
Therefore, the total mass of the reactants is 179 amu.

In this chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants is 76 amu. The reaction forms a single molecule. Since the total mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the final molecule, the mass of the molecule that is formed is also 76 amu. Therefore, the correct answer is 76 amu.
