Answer: Synthesis
0.84 moles of oxygen
25 moles of [tex]Fe_2O_3[/tex]
Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation is:
[tex]4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3[/tex]
This is a synthesis reaction as one product is formed by combination of two reactants.
According to stoichiometry :
a. 2 moles of [tex]Fe_2O_3[/tex] require = 3 moles of [tex]O_2[/tex]
Thus 0.56 moles of [tex]Fe_2O_3[/tex] require=[tex]\frac{3}{2}\times 0.56=0.84moles[/tex] of [tex]O_2[/tex]
b. 4 moles of [tex]Fe[/tex] give = 2 moles of [tex]Fe_2O_3[/tex]
Thus 50 moles of [tex]Fe[/tex] give =[tex]\frac{2}{4}\times 50=25moles[/tex] of [tex]Fe_2O_3[/tex]
