Question

Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) → 3CO2(g) + 2Fe(s)

If 6 moles of CO reacted with excess Fe2O3, then how many moles of Fe were produced?

Answer 1

4 moles Fe(s)

Step-by-step explanation:

Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 3CO₂(g) + 2Fe(s)

Reaction shows a 3:2 ratio between CO(g) & Fe(s) ...

∴moles of Fe(s) produced = 2/3(6) moles Fe(s) produced = 4 moles Fe(s)
