Answer : The correct option is, (b) 22.1 g

Solution : Given,

Mass of iron = 15.5 g

Molar mass of iron = 56 g/mole

Molar mass of Fe_2O_3 = 160 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of iron.

\text{Moles of Fe}=\frac{\text{Mass of Fe}}{\text{Molar mass of Fe}}=\frac{15.5g}{56g/mole}=0.276moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of Fe_2O_3.

The balanced reaction is,

Fe_2O_3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2

From the balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 moles of iron obtained from 1 mole of Fe_2O_3

So, 0.276 moles of iron obtained from \frac{0.276}{2}=0.138 mole of Fe_2O_3

Now we have to calculate the mass of Fe_2O_3

\text{Mass of }Fe_2O_3=\text{Moles of }Fe_2O_3\times \text{Molar mass of }Fe_2O_3

\text{Mass of }Fe_2O_3=(0.138mole)\times (160g/mole)=22.08g=22.1g

Therefore, the amount of Fe_2O_3 required are, 22.1 grams.
