Answer:
=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
