Answer : The number of moles of
produced will be, 0.241 moles.
Solution : Given,
Mass of Fe = 27.0 g
Molar mass of
= 56 g/mole
First we have to calculate the moles of
.
![\text{ Moles of }Fe=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Fe}{\text{ Molar mass of }Fe}=\frac{27.0g}{56g/mole}=0.482moles](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7B%20Moles%20of%20%7DFe%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Ctext%7B%20Mass%20of%20%7DFe%7D%7B%5Ctext%7B%20Molar%20mass%20of%20%7DFe%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B27.0g%7D%7B56g%2Fmole%7D%3D0.482moles)
Now we have to calculate the moles of ![Fe_2O_3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Fe_2O_3)
The balanced chemical reaction is,
![4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4Fe%2B3O_2%5Crightarrow%202Fe_2O_3)
From the reaction, we conclude that
As, 4 mole of
react to give 2 mole of ![Fe_2O_3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Fe_2O_3)
So, 0.482 moles of
react to give
moles of ![Fe_2O_3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Fe_2O_3)
Thus, the number of moles of
produced will be, 0.241 moles.
