1.	How many moles of iron can be made from Fe2O3 by the use of 16 moles of carbon monoxide in the following reaction?FeO3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2
Answer» FeO₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂ \(\because\) Moles of CO are used to make 2 moles of Fe \(\therefore\) 16 moles of CO will be used to make = \(\frac{2}{3}\) x 16 = 10.666 ≈ 10.67 mol of Fe

How many moles of iron can be made from Fe2O3 by the use of 16 moles of carbon monoxide in the following reaction?FeO3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2

Answer»

FeO₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂

\(\because\) Moles of CO are used to make 2 moles of Fe

\(\therefore\) 16 moles of CO will be used to make = \(\frac{2}{3}\) x 16

= 10.666 ≈ 10.67 mol of Fe
