What is the mass of iron (g) produced from 227.4 of iron(III) oxide ?
227.4g Fe2O3 x (2*atomic mass Fe/molar mass F2O3) = ?
__Fe2O3(l) + __CO(g)----1500 degrees Celsius--->__Fe(l) + CO2(g)
Fe2O3(l) + 3CO(g) heat ==>2Fe(l) + 3CO2(g)
mols Fe2O3 = grams/molar mass
Convert mols Fe2O3 to mols Fe using the coefficients in the balanced equation.
Convert mols Fe to g. g = mols x molar mass
You will obtain the same answer as my short answer above.
To determine the mass of iron produced from iron(III) oxide, you need to use the concept of stoichiometry. Stoichiometry is a mathematical relationship between the balanced chemical equation and the quantities of reactants and products involved.
Here's how you can calculate the mass of iron produced:
1. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between iron(III) oxide and an appropriate reducing agent (such as carbon):
Fe2O3 + C → Fe + CO2
2. Determine the molar mass of iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) and iron (Fe). The molar mass of Fe2O3 is calculated by adding the atomic masses of two iron atoms (Fe) and three oxygen atoms (O). The molar mass of Fe is calculated by adding the atomic mass of iron (Fe).
Molar mass of Fe2O3 = (2 × atomic mass of Fe) + (3 × atomic mass of O)
Molar mass of Fe = atomic mass of Fe
3. Convert the given mass of iron(III) oxide (227.4 g) to moles by dividing it by the molar mass of Fe2O3. This will give you the number of moles of Fe2O3.
Moles of Fe2O3 = Mass of Fe2O3 / Molar mass of Fe2O3
4. Use the balanced chemical equation from step 1 to determine the mole ratio between Fe2O3 and Fe. In this case, the ratio is 1:1, meaning that one mole of Fe2O3 reacts to produce one mole of Fe.
5. Convert the moles of Fe2O3 obtained in step 3 to moles of Fe using the mole ratio determined in step 4.
Moles of Fe = Moles of Fe2O3
6. Finally, calculate the mass of iron (Fe) produced by multiplying the moles of Fe obtained in step 5 by the molar mass of Fe.
Mass of Fe = Moles of Fe × Molar mass of Fe
By following these steps and substituting the appropriate values into the equations, you can find the mass of iron (Fe) produced from the given quantity of iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3).
