Question

Iron (III) Oxide reacts with Carbon Monoxide forming Carbon Dioxide and Iron. How many moles of Carbon Dioxide will be produced if you have 5.75 moles of Iron (III) Oxide?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 8.63 moles of CO2

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:

2 Fe2O3 + 3 CO -> 4 Fe + 3 CO2

According to the equation, 2 moles of Fe2O3 reacts with 3 moles of CO to produce 3 moles of CO2.

Therefore, to calculate the moles of CO2 produced from 5.75 moles of Fe2O3, we can use a proportion:

2 mol Fe2O3 / 3 mol CO2 = 5.75 mol Fe2O3 / x mol CO2

Solving for x:

x = 8.63 moles of CO2

Therefore, 5.75 moles of Iron (III) Oxide will produce 8.63 moles of Carbon Dioxide.
