    A 0.239mol

    Explanation:

    From the equation:

    We were given that 10g of iron was involved in this chemical reaction

    We can establish that:

    3moles of Fe would produced 4 moles of Hydrogen gas

    Therefore:

    Number of moles of iron = mass of Fe / mloar mass of iron

    Mass of Fe = 10g

    Molar Mass of Fe = 55.85g/mol

    Therefore, number of moles of iron = 10/55.85

    Number of moles of iron = 0.179mol

    3moles of Fe would produced 4 moles of Hydrogen gas

    So, 0.179mol of Fe would give 0.179x4/3

    The number of mole of Hydrogen gas produced is 0.239mol.
