Answer to Question #317917 in General Chemistry for connor

Question

One of the main reactions involved in the production of iron from iron(III) oxide as found in iron ore, proceeds according to the following balanced chemical equation:Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3 C(s)  →  2 Fe(s) + 3 CO(g)

We will consider the reaction of iron(III) oxide and carbon on a gram scale, although the same stoichiometry applies on the tonne scale.

If 22.7 g of carbon is available, what is the maximum mass of iron which can be produced when the iron(III) oxide is present in excess?
