Question

How many moles of iron are needed to produce 10 moles of Fe2O3

Answer 1

Answer:

20 moles of Iron are needed

Explanation:

In 1 mole of Iron (III) oxide, Fe₂O₃, there are 2 moles of Iron, Fe. The equation that we can write is:

2 moles Fe = 1 mole Fe₂O₃

To find the moles of iron that are needed to produce 10 moles of Fe₂O₃ we must use this equation as follows:

10 moles of Fe₂O₃ * (2 moles Fe / 1mole Fe₂O₃) =
