Iron will react with oxygen to produce Fe2O3. how many grams of Fe2O3 will he produced if 0.18 mil of Fe reacts?

14.4g

Explanation:

First, we need to write a balanced equation for the reaction between Fe and O2 to produce Fe2O3. This is illustrated below:

4Fe + 3O2 —> 2Fe2O3

From the balanced equation,

4moles of Fe produced 2moles of Fe2O3.

Therefore, 0.18mol of Fe will produce = (0.18x2) /4 = 0.09mol of Fe2O3.

Now we need to find the mass present in 0.09mol of Fe2O3. This can be achieved by doing the following:

Molar Mass of Fe2O3 = (56x2) + (16x3) = 112 + 48 = 160g/mol

Number of mole of Fe2O3 = 0.09mol

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of Fe2O3 = 0.09 x 160 = 14.4g
