Magnesium reacts with iron(III) chloride to form magnesium chloride (which can be used in fireproofing wood and in disinfectants) and iron. 3Mg(s) + 2FeCl₃(s) → 3MgCl₂(s) + 2Fe(s)
A mixture of 41.0 g of magnesium (ℳ = 24.31 g/mol) and 175 g of iron(III) chloride (ℳ = 162.2 g/mol) is allowed to react. What mass of magnesium chloride (ℳ = 95.21 g/mol) is formed?
