For the reaction, calculate how many moles of the product form when 0.048 mol of O2 completely reacts. Assume that there is more than enough of the other reactant. 4Fe(s)+3O2(g)→2Fe2O3(s)

Answer : The number of mole of product
Fe_2O_3 form are 0.032 moles.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of
O_2 = 0.048 mole

The balanced chemical reaction is,


4Fe(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 3 moles of
O_2 react to give 2 moles of
Fe_2O_3

So, 0.048 moles of
O_2 react to give
(2)/(3)* 0.048=0.032 moles of
Fe_2O_3

Therefore, the number of mole of product
Fe_2O_3 form are 0.032 moles.
