Question

Using the balanced equation for the next few questions: 4 Fe(s) + 30 (9) - 2Fe2O3(s)

Answer 1

Answer:

0.075 moles of iron oxide would be produced by complete reaction of 0.15  moles of iron.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

4 Fe + 3 O₂ → 2 Fe₂O₃

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

• Fe: 4 moles
• O₂: 3 moles
• Fe₂O₃: 2 moles

You can apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 4 moles of Fe produce 2 moles of Fe₂O₃, 0.15 moles of Fe produce how many moles of Fe₂O₃?

$moles of Fe_{2} O_{3} =\frac{0.15 moles of Fe*2 moles of Fe_{2} O_{3} }{4 moles of Fe}$

moles of Fe₂O₃= 0.075

0.075 moles of iron oxide would be produced by complete reaction of 0.15  moles of iron.
