Question

How many grams of Co, are produced when 3.60 g of Fe 0 reacts with excess CO?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.98 g CO2

Explanation:

1. Balance the chemical equation

1 Fe2O3 + 3CO ->  2Fe + 3CO2

2. Use periodic table to find mass from each CO2 and Fe2O3  

3. Calculate

3.60 g Fe2O3 x $\frac{1 mol Fe2O3}{159.69 g Fe2O3}x\frac{3 mol CO2}{1 mol Fe2O3}$ x$\frac{44.01 g CO2}{1 mol CO2}$ =  2.98 g CO2
