Muriatic acid, HCl, is often used to remove rust. A solution of muriatic acid, HCl, reacts with Fe2O3 deposits on industrial equipment. How many liters of 5.50 M HCl would be needed to react completely with 439 g Fe2O3? (molar mass of HCl = 36.46 g/mol) (molar mass of Fe2O3 =159.70 g/mol). Use the equation Fe2O3(s) + 6HCl(aq)2FeCl3(aq) + 3H2O to solve this problem.
