Question:

How much iron can be obtained from 1kg of iron ore that is iron (II) oxide, FeO?

How much iron can be obtained from 1kg of iron ore that is iron (II) oxide, FeO?

Answer:

It would be (mass of ore)*(molar mass of iron) / (molar mass of FeO) 1 kg * 55.8 / 71.8 0.78 kg of iron.
Theoretically, ratio of masses Fe:O is 56:16 7:2 Thus we can obtain 7/9 kg of Iron from 1 kg FeO
