In the metallurgic industry one of the processes to get pure iron takes tree steps. a) CaCO3→CaO + CO2

b) CO2 + C → CO

c) Fe2O3 + CO → Fe + CO2

Calculate the kilograms of iron that would be produced from 1340 g of calcium carbonate

Iron produced : 1.5 kg

Further explanation

Reaction

a) CaCO3→CaO + CO2

b) CO2 + C → 2CO

c) Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2

mol CaCO₃ (MW=100,0869 g/mol) :

mol CO₂ = mol CaCO₃ =13.39(reaction a)

mol CO = 2 x mol CO₂ = 26.78(reaction b)

mol CO(reaction c) = 1.5 mol CO from reaction b = 1.5 x 26.78 = 40.17

mol Fe(reaction c) = 2/3 x mol CO =

Or we can cancel out the same compound in different sides from the sum of the three reactions to find mol Fe

a) CaCO3→CaO + CO2

b) CO2 + C → 2CO

c) Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2

----------------------------------------------+

CaCO3 + Fe2O3 + C + CO + 3CO2 ⇒ CaO + 2Fe

mol Fe = 2 x mol CaCO3 = 2 x 13.39 = 26.78

mass Fe :

Non metal is an element or substance that is not a metal metal is a solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivitymetalloid is an element (e.g., germanium or silicon) whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid nonmetals. they are electrical semiconductors.

The answer is neonhope it
