Iron Chloride is produced by heating iron in chlorine gas. The equation for the reaction is: 2Fe + 3Cl2 = 2FeCl3 Calculate the volume of chlorine needed to react with 14g of iron.

I assume this is a question where you assume that the gas is at RTP, so it has a molar volume of 24 dm^3 mol^-1.
That being the case:
(a): Start by finding the moles of iron in 14 g.
(b): Use the ratio from the equation to find how many moles of Cl2 will react with the moles of iron in 14 g.
(c): Volume of gas needed = molar volume x moles of gas
