Answer:

Mass of Fe produced = 3.86785211069  ≈ 3.87 kg

Explanation:

From the question the chemical reaction can be written as follow :

Fe2O3 + C → Fe + CO  

Balance the equation

Fe2O3 + 3C → 2Fe + 3CO  

compute the molecular mass of Fe2O3 and atomic mass of Iron(Fe)

Molecular mass of Fe2O3 = 55.845(2) + 15.999(3) = 111.69 + 47.997 = 159.687 g

Atomic mass of iron = 55.845 g

From the balanced equation

159.687 g of Fe2O3  produces 2 ×  55.845 = 111.69 g of Fe(iron)

Convert the 5.53 kg to gram

1 kg = 1000 g

5.53 kg  = 5.53 × 1000 = 5530 g

since,

159.687 g of Fe2O3  produces 2 ×  55.845 = 111.69 g of Iron(Fe)

5530 g of  Fe2O3  will produce  

cross multiply

Mass of Fe produced =5530 × 111.69/159.687

Mass of Fe produced = 617645.7

/159.687

Mass of Fe produced = 3867.85211069  g

convert to kg

1000 g = 1 kg

3867.85211069   = 3867.85211069/1000

Mass of Fe produced = 3.86785211069  ≈ 3.87 kg
