Answer:
496 g of Fe₂O₃.
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:
4Fe + 3O₂ —> 2Fe₂O₃
From the balanced equation above,
4 moles of Fe reacted to produce 2 moles of Fe₂O₃.
Therefore, 6.20 moles of Fe will react to produce = (6.20 × 2)/4 = 3.1 moles of Fe₂O₃
Finally, we shall determine the mass of 3.1 moles of Fe₂O₃. This can be obtained as follow:
Mole of Fe₂O₃ = 3.1 moles
Molar mass of Fe₂O₃ = (56 × 2) + (3×16)
= 112 + 48
= 160 g/mol
Mass of Fe₂O₃ =?
Mass = mole × molar mass
Mass of Fe₂O₃ = 3.1 × 160
Mass of Fe₂O₃ = 496 g
Therefore, 496 g of Fe₂O₃ were produced from the reaction.
