). How many moles and grams of iron are produced when 180 grams hematite (Fe2O3(s)) react with a sufficient amount of CO? (Mass-Mass)Step 1- Balance equation- (Already done for you!) Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) 2Fe(s) + 3CO2(g)Step 2- Grams-to-Moles of Known-Step 3- Ratio-for moles unknownStep 4- Moles-to-Grams of unknownPLEASE HELP NEED ANSWER
Step 2- Grams-to-Moles of Known- (180 g Fe2O3) / (159.6887 g Fe2O3/mol) 1.13 mol Fe2O3 Step 3- Ratio-for moles unknown Fe2O3 + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO2 (1.13 mol Fe2O3) x (2 mol Fe / 1 mol Fe2O3) 2.26 mol Fe Step 4- Moles-to-Grams of unknown (2.26 mol Fe) x (55.8452 g Fe/mol) 126 g Fe
Iron is produced in a cupola furnace.Iron ore ,furnace coak scrap iron and limestone are positioned into the furnace in layers. The furnace is lit and whilst it gets to extra or less 1750 ranges the forged iron is tapped out and positioned into moulds or ingots depending on what style of industry the iron is made for.There are some different grades of iron including carbon supplies a extra efficient grade. I labored in an iron foundry for 31 years. stable success
