Answer to Question #279612 in Chemistry for Mae

Question

how many moles of iron (III) is produced by 0.030 moles of iron in the following reaction 4fe + 3o2- 2fe2o3

Answer 1

Solution:

Balanced chemical equation:

4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

According to stoichiometry:

4 mol of iron (Fe) produces 2 mol of iron(III) oxide (Fe₂O₃)

Thus, 0.030 mol of iron (Fe) produces:

(0.030 mol Fe) × (2 mol Fe₂O₃ / 4 mol Fe) = 0.015 mol Fe₂O₃

Answer: 0.015 moles of iron(III) oxide (Fe₂O₃) is produced
