How many molecules of carbon monoxide (co) are needed to react with excess iron (iii) oxide (fe2o3) to produce 11.6 g of iron (fe)?

Respuesta :

Kalahira
8.73 grams CO
   The balanced equation for the reaction is
3CO + Fe2O3 ==> 2Fe + 3CO2
   So for every 2 atoms of Fe produced, 3 molecules of CO is needed. So let's start by looking up the atomic weights of the involved elements:
 Atomic weight iron = 55.845
  Atomic weight carbon = 12.0107 
  Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999
   Molar mass CO = 12.0107 + 15.999 = 28.0097 g/mol
 Moles iron = 11.6 g / 55.845 g/mol = 0.20771779 mol
   Moles CO needed = 0.20771779 mol / 2 * 3 = 0.311576685 mol
 Mass CO needed = 0.311576685 mol * 28.0097 g/mol = 8.727169487 g Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 8.73 grams CO

Mass is both a property of a physical body and a measure of its resistance to acceleration when a net force is applied.

The mass depends on these followings:-

  • Surface area

The molecules of carbon monoxide are required is 8.73 grams of CO

The balanced equation for the reaction is

[tex]3CO + Fe_{2}O_{3} ==> 2Fe + 3CO_{2}[/tex]

So for every 2 atoms of Fe produced, 3 molecules of CO are needed. So let's start by looking up the atomic weights of the involved elements:

Atomic weight iron = 55.845

Atomic weight carbon = 12.0107

Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999

Molar mass CO = [tex]12.0107 + 15.999 = 28.0097 g/mol[/tex]

Moles iron =[tex]\frac{11.6 g} {55.845} = 0.20771779 mole[/tex]

Moles CO needed = [tex]\frac{0.20771779}{2} * 3 = 0.311576685 \ mole[/tex]

Mass CO needed = [tex]0.311576685 \ mol * 28.0097 g\ mol = 8.727169487 g[/tex]

Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 8.73 grams CO.
