Detailed Solution

For the provided reaction,

3 moles of O2 requires 4 moles of FeCl3

Thus, O2 is a limiting reagent.

Thus, 2 mole of O2 will require:

 2×43=2.67 moles of  FeCl3

Thus, the excess of FeCl3 is 32.67=0.33mol

Moles of Fe2O3 produced:

Moles of Fe2O3=2 moles of Fe2O33 moles O2×2 moles O2=1.33 moles  Fe2O3
