Question

The reaction between iron(II) oxide and carbon monoxide produces iron and carbon dioxide. How many moles of iron can be obtained when 4.754.75 mol FeOFeO reacts with an excess of COCO

Answer 1

4.75 moles of Fe

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

FeO + CO —> Fe + CO2

Now, we can determine the number of mole of iron, Fe produced by the reaction of 4.75 mol of FeO with excess CO as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of FeO reacted to produce 1 mole of Fe.

Therefore, 4.75 moles of FeO will also react to produce 4.75 moles of Fe.

Therefore, 4.75 moles of Fe is produced.
