Answer: The reactant ratio in the given chemical equation will be: [tex]Fe:Cl_2=2:3[/tex]
Explanation:
Mole ratio is defined as the ratio of the amount of moles of two substances that are participating in a chemical reaction.
In the given chemical equation:
[tex]2Fe+3Cl_2\rightarrow 2FeCl_3[/tex]
The reactants are Fe and [tex]Cl_2[/tex] and the product is [tex]FeCl_3[/tex]
The mole ratio is basically the stoichiometric ratio of the chemical compounds taking part in a chemical reaction.
The mole ratio of reactants is stoichiometric ratio of Fe and [tex]Cl_2[/tex], which is:
[tex]Fe:Cl_2=2:3[/tex]
Hence, the reactant ratio in the given chemical equation will be: [tex]Fe:Cl_2=2:3[/tex]
