Answer:
3 moles of CO are needed
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of CO used = ?
Mass of Fe produced = 112 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
Fe₂O₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂
Number of moles of Fe:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 112 g/ 55.85 g/mol
Number of moles = 2.00 mol
Now we will compare the moles of iron and CO.
Fe : CO
2 : 3
Thus, 3 moles of CO are needed.
I do not see any mistakes so I think you’re good!
To estimate the molar mass of the gas, we use Graham's law of effusion. This relates the rates of effusion of gases with their molar mass. We calculate as follows:
r1/r2 = √(m2/m1)
where r1 would be the effusion rate of the gas and r2 is for CO2, M1 is the molar mass of the gas and M2 would be the molar mass of CO2 (44.01 g/mol)
r1 = 1.6r2
1.6 = √(44.01 / m1)
m1 = 17.19 g/mol
