<u>Answer:</u> The given amount of iron reacts with 9.0 moles of and produce 6.0 moles of
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
Moles of iron = 12.0 moles
The chemical equation for the rusting of iron follows:
- <u>For oxygen gas:</u>
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
4 moles of iron reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas
So, 12.0 moles of iron will react with = of oxygen gas
- <u>For iron (III) oxide:</u>
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
4 moles of iron produces 2 moles of iron (III) oxide
So, 12.0 moles of iron will produce = of iron (III) oxide
Hence, the given amount of iron reacts with 9.0 moles of and produce 6.0 moles of
