Question

101. During the making of steel, iron(II) oxide is reduced to metallic iron by treatment with carbon monoxide gas.

FeO (s) + CO (g) Fe ( s)
Suppose 1.45 kg of Fe reacts. What volume of CO(g) is required, and what volume of CO2(9) is produced, each measured at STP?'

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

At a certain temperature, iron (II) oxide, FeO, can react with carbon monoxide, CO, to form elemental iron, Fe, and carbon dioxide, CO2. The value of Kp at that temperature is 0.242. What is the pressure of CO2 at equilibrium if a sample of FeO was initially in a container with CO at a pressure of 0.95 atm? The chemical reaction involved in this process is: FeO(s) + CO(g) ⟷ Fe(s) + CO2(
