Question
For the reaction: Fe₂O₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂, how many kg of Fe is produced from 160 kg of Fe₂O₃? (Fe = 56, O = 16)
- A56 kg
- B112 kgCorrect
- C168 kg
- D224 kg
Correct answer
112 kg
Explanation
M(Fe₂O₃) = 160 g/mol. 160 kg / 160 g/mol = 1000 mol Fe₂O₃. Each mol gives 2 mol Fe → 2000 mol Fe. Mass = 2000 × 56 g = 112,000 g = 112 kg.
