Answer:
The answer to your question is 160 g of Fe₂O₃
Explanation:
Data
mass of Fe = 112 g
mass of CO = in excess
mass of Fe₂O₃ = ?
Balanced chemical reaction
Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⇒ 2Fe + 3CO₂
Process
1.- Calculate the molar mass of Fe₂O₃ and Fe
Molar mass Fe₂O₃ = (56 x 2) + (16 x 3) = 112 + 48 = 160 g
atomic mass of Fe = 56
2.- Use proportions to calculate the mass of Fe₂O₃ needed
160 g of Fe₂O₃ ------------------- 2(56) g of Fe
x g of Fe₂O₃ ------------------ 112 g of Fe
x = (112 x 160) / 2(56)
x = 17920/112
x = 160 g of Fe₂O₃
The enthalpy change for an exothermic reaction is negative because heat is being released, so that takes out two of the responses. Since energy is being released into the surroundings due to the exothermic reaction, the potential energy of the products is lower than that of the reactants. Energy is being put in to make the reaction occur, but then that energy is all being released into the surroundings thus a lower potential energy level for the products
