Answer #1

Chemical reaction;

Fe2O3 + 3CO ---------> 3CO2 + 2Fe

Molar mass of Fe2O3 = 160g/mol

Molar mass of Fe = 56g/mol

Molar mass of CO = 28g/mol

1 mole (160g) Fe2O3 gives = 2 moles Fe ( 2×56g/mol)

Then 454g Fe2O3 will produce = (112g-Fe/160g-Fe2O3)×454g-Fe2O3 = 317.8 g Iron will produce.

For 1 mole Fe2O3 (160g) it requires = 3 moles CO (3×28g/mol)

Then for 454g Fe2O3 , it will require = (84g-CO/160g-Fe2O3)×454g-Fe2O3 = 238.35 g CO is needed .
