Fe2o3 (molar mass = 159.7 g/mol) reacts with co (molar mass = 28.0 g/mol) according to the equation when 125.6 g of co reacts with excess fe2o3, how many moles of fe (iron) will be produced?

=1.4953 moles

Explanation:

Iron (III) Oxide is reduced by carbon (II) oxide into Iron. According to the following equation, One mole of Fe₂O₃ react with 3 moles of CO to produce  2 moles of Fe. Thus the reaction ratio of CO to Fe₂O₃ is 3:1  

Fe₂O₃₍s₎ + 3CO  → 2Fe₍s₎ + 3CO₂₍g₎

125.6 grams of CO is equivalent to: 125.6g/28.0g/mol

=4.486 moles.

The number of moles of Fe produced by the reaction is:

=(4.486 moles×1)/3

=1.4953 moles

answer: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

explanation: chemical change is the change in which chemical composition of the substance changes. physical change is the change in which there is no change in chemical composition.

chemical changes are accompanied by following changes:

a) precipitate formation

b) energy is released or absorbed

c) formation of bubbles

d) change in color

as it is given that the red color has disappeared and there is production of gas, it means the red substance has undergone a chemical change.

e

the answer is c
