You are looking for an element in the fourth period and a transition metal. As most have about 3 valence electrons. Gallium and Scandium work perfectly.
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
<span>Fe</span>₂<span>O</span>₃<span> + 3 CO --> 2 Fe + 3 CO</span>₂
<span>stoichiometry of CO to Fe is 3:2
molar volume states that 1 mol of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L
If 22.4 L contains 1 mol of CO
Then 3.65 L contains - 1/22.4 x 3.65 = 0.16 mol
3 mol of CO forms 2 mol of Fe
Then 0.16 mol of CO forms - 2/3 x 0.16 = 0.1067 mol of Fe
Therefore mass of Fe produced - 0.1067 mol x 55.8 g/mol = 5.95 g</span>
The answer is covalent bonds.
