Question:

consider the following reaction for producing iron from iron ore: Fe2O3 +C CO + Fe?

how much carbon is required to react with 25 gm of Fe2O3

Answer:

using this equation: Fe2O3 + 3 C 3CO + 2Fe , molar masses: 25 g Fe2O3 (3mol C)(12.01 g.mol) / (1mol Fe2O3)(159.69 g/mol) 5.64 grams of carbon your answer(2sigfigs): 5.6 g Carbon
