Q1

A teacher investigated the reaction of iron with chlorine using the apparatus

in the above diagram.

The word equation for the reaction is:

iron + chlorine → iron chloride

The teacher weighed:

• the glass tube

• the glass tube and iron before the reaction

• the glass tube and iron chloride after the reaction.

Table 2 shows the teacher’s results.

Calculate the simplest whole number ratio of:

moles of iron atoms : moles of chlorine atoms

Determine the balanced equation for the reaction.

Relative atomic masses (Ar): Cl = 35.5 Fe = 56
