<span>CO is the limiting reactant
( 25.0 x 3 = 75 moles of CO are required)
Moles Fe = 30.0 x 2 / 3 = 20.0
mass Fe = 20.0 x 55.847 g/mol=1117 g </span><span>

Answer:
1.387 moles
Explanation:
Step 1:
The balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:
4Fe + 3O2 —> 2Fe2O3
Step 2:
Determination of the number of mole of Fe in 155.321g of Fe. This can be achieved by doing the following:
Mass of Fe = 155.321g
Molar Mass of Fe = 56g/mol
Number of mole of Fe =?
Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass
Number of mole of Fe = 155.321/56
Number of mole of Fe = 2.774 mol
Step 3:
Determination of the number of mole of rust (Fe2O3) produced. This is illustrated below:
From the balanced equation above,
4 moles of Fe produced 2 moles of Fe2O3.
Therefore, 2.774 moles of Fe will produce = (2.774 x 2)/4 = 1.387 moles of Fe2O3.
Therefore, 1.387 moles of rust (Fe2O3) is produced from the reaction
The two types of energy changes that occur are heat and light changes.
