Molten (melted) iron and carbon monoxide are produced in a blast furnace by the reaction of iron(III) oxide and pure carbon. Fe2O3 + 3C ---> 2Fe + 3CO If 4 moles of Fe2O3 are used, how many moles of Carbon Monoxide (CO) can be produced?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Fe₂O₃ + 3C ---> 2Fe + 3CO

1 mole                          3 moles

From the balanced equation above , we see that , 1 mole of Fe₂O₃ reacts with carbon to form 3 moles of CO .

So , 4 moles of  Fe₂O₃ will react with carbon to form 3 x 4  moles of CO .

moles of CO formed = 3 x 4 moles = 12 moles.
