Question

b) If 1.5 mole of oxygen reacted, how many mole of iron (III) oxide would be formed from the reaction?

Answer 1

Answer:

If there reacted 1.5 moles of O2, there will be produced 1.0 mol of Fe2O3

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles oxygen reacted = 1.5 moles

Step 2: The balanced equation

4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3

Step 3: Calculate moles of Fe2O3

For 4 moles Fe consumed, we need 3 moles of O2 to produce 2 moles of Fe2O3

For 1.5 moles O2 consumed, we'll have 2/3 * 1.5 = 1.0 mol of Fe2O3

If there reacted 1.5 moles of O2, there will be produced 1.0 mol of Fe2O3
