Question

How many moles of iron (Fe) can be obtained from 3.80 g iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) reacting with excess carbon monoxide

Answer 1

0.02375 moles

Explanation:

Fe2O3+CO :. Fe+CO2

We know that

56*2+16*3=160 gm of Fe2O3 can give 56 gm of Fe

So

3.8 gm can give 1.33 gm of Fe

It is equal to 1.33/56 moles of Fe which is equal to 0.02375 moles
