Iron ore (Fe2O2) is refined to iron (and carbon monoxide) by reacting the iron ore together with coke (pure carbon, C) What mass of coke is required for every 1.000 kg iron ore refined?Steps please.Thanks.
nah i ain't doing your hw for you. show your step please. forget it kiddo.
Need a balanced chemical equation based on processing to CO (carbon monoxide). [I would expect the reaction product to be CO2 - carbon dioxide - but will work it out as you have specified] Fe2O2 + 2C ------ 2Fe + 2CO One mole of iron oxide reacts with 2 moles of carbon to produce 2 moles of iron and 2 moles of carbon monoxide. Molecular weight (MW) iron ore 2*55.8+2*16 143.6 1 kg iron ore 1000 g iron ore number moles iron ore mass/MW 1000/143.6 7.0 moles Seven moles of iron ore requires 14 moles of carbon. MW (carbon) 12 mass carbon number moles * MW 14*12 168 grams. Therefore, for every 1 kg or iron ore processed 168 g of carbon is required.
