Question

The reduction of iron(III) oxide () to pure iron during the first step of steelmaking, ()()() is driven by the high-temperature combustion of coke, a purified form of coal: ()()() Suppose at the temperature of a blast furnace the Gibbs free energies of formation of and are and , respectively. Calculate the maximum mass of pure iron that can be produced by the combustion of of coke. Round your answer to significant digits.

Answer 1

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer : To 2 significant digits = 5500 kg

Explanation:

Given

C(s) + O2 (g)  ----------> CO2  ( g )

mass of CO2 = 8.9 * 10^6 g

number of moles =  8.9 * 10^6 / 12  = 7.416 * 10 ^5  mol

same amount of moles is needed by O2 hence

attached below is the detailed  solution
