Question

Iron oxide reacts with carbon monoxide to produce iron and carbon dioxide, with the balanced chemical equation Fe2O3 +3C0 —> 2Fe +3CO2. What does this tell you

about the relative amounts of iron oxide and iron consumed and produced in this equation?
A. For every two moles of iron oxide consumed, one mole of iron is produced.
B. For every two grams of iron oxide consumed, one gram of iron is produced,
C. For every gram of iron oxide consumed, two grams of iron are produced.
D. For every mole of iron oxide consumed, two moles of iron are produced.

Answer 1

D. For every mole of iron oxide consumed, 2 moles od iron are produced.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

D. For every mole of iron oxide consumed, 2 moles od iron are produced.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2

1 mol of iron oxide, is made up of 2 iron molecules and 3 oxygen molecules. In a balanced equation, both sides of the equation all of the molecules in the 1st half have to be included in the 2nd half of the equation as well.
