Question

The reaction between iron(II) oxide and carbon monoxide produces iron and carbon dioxide. How many moles of iron can be obtained when 1.50 mol FeO reacts with an excess of CO ?
FeO+CO⟶Fe+CO2

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5 moles of Fe produced.

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of FeO react = 1.50 mol

Moles of iron produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

FeO + CO       →       Fe + CO₂

Now we will compare the moles of ironoxide with iron.

                           FeO          :           Fe

                              1             :             1

                             1.5           :           1.5

Thus from 1.5 moles of FeO 1.5 moles of Fe are produced.
