Question

8. If I have 34 grams of FeO, how many grams of Oxygen were synthesized?Fe + O2 → Feo​

Answer 1

Answer:

34 gram of FeO produced 8 gram of oxygen.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of FeO = 34 g

Mass of oxygen = ?

Solution;

Chemical equation:

2FeO → 2Fe + O₂

Number of moles of FeO:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 34 g /71.8 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.5 mol

Now we will compare the moles of FeO with oxygen:

             FeO       :       O₂

                2         :        1

                0.5      :      1/2 × 0.5 = 0.25

Mass of oxygen:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass =  0.25 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass = 8 g

So 34 gram of FeO produced 8 gram of oxygen.
