Iron is made from a reaction of iron oxide with carbon monoxide in the following reaction:
Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) → 2 Fe(s) + 3 CO2(g)
Using Hess' Law, calculate the enthalpy of reaction given:
C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g)
ΔH = -393.5 kJ /mol
2 Fe(s) + 3/2 O2(g) → Fe2O3(s) ΔH = -824.2 kJ /mol
C(s) + 1/2 O2(g) → CO(g) ΔH = -110.5 kJ /mol
(Please note that you must include units throughout all of your calculations and provide your answer in scientific notation to the correct number of significant digits.)
