Read the chemical equation. fe2o3 + co → fe + co2 if 1.8 moles of fe2o3 react with 2.7 moles of co, how many moles of each product are formed? 5.4 moles fe and 1.8 moles co2 2.7 moles fe and 0.9 moles co2 3.6 moles fe and 5.4 moles co2 1.8 moles fe and 2.7 moles co2

- D. 1.8 moles of Fe and .

Solution:- The balanced equation is:

let's first figure out the limiting reactant using the given moles and mol ratio:

= 5.4 mol CO

From calculations, 5.4 moles of CO are required to react completely with 1.8 moles of Iron(III)oxide but only 2.7 moles of CO are available. It means CO is limiting reactant.

Products moles depends on limiting reactant. Let's calculate the moles of each reactant formed for given 2.7 moles of CO.

= 1.8 mol Fe

=

So, the correct choice is D.  1.8 moles of Fe and are formed.
