Question

3Fe+4H2O(yields) Fe3O4+4H2. What is the mole ratio of Fe3O4 to Fe?

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is Option A.

Explanation:

Mole ratio is defined as the ratio between the stoichiometric coefficients of the molecules present in the chemical reaction.

For the given balanced chemical equation:

$3Fe+4H_2O\rightarrow Fe_3O_4+4H_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of iron metal reacts with 4 moles of water to produce 1 mole of iron oxide and 4 moles of hydrogen gas.

The mole ratio of $Fe_3O_4:Fe=1:3$

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

Answer 2

Answer:

A- 1:3

Explanation:

Mole ratio is the ratio between the amount (In moles) of two substances involved in a chemical reaction.

For the reaction:

3Fe + 4H₂O → Fe₃O₄ + 4 H₂

There is 1 mole of Fe₃O₄ per 3 moles of Fe. In other words, the mole ratio of Fe₃O₄ to Fe is 1:3. Thus, answer is:

A- 1:3
