. When iron rusts in air, iron(III) oxide is produced. How many moles of oxygen react with 2.4 mol of iron in the rusting reaction? 4Fe( s ) + 3O 2 ( g ) → 2Fe 2 O 3 ( s )

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.8 moles of oxygen react with 2.4 moles of iron in the rusting reaction.

Explanation:

[tex]4Fe(s) +3O_2 (g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)[/tex]

Moles of iron = 2.4 moles

According to reaction , 4 moles of iron reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas.

Then 2.4 moles of iron will react with ;

[tex]2.4\times \frac{3}{4}=1.8 mol[/tex] of oxygen gas.

1.8 moles of oxygen react with 2.4 moles of iron in the rusting reaction.

1.8 moles of oxygen react with 2.4 moles of iron in the rusting reaction.

Give reaction:-

[tex]4Fe( s ) + 3O_2 ( g )\rightarrow 2Fe _2 O_ 3 ( s )[/tex]

Moles of iron = 2.4 moles

According to the reaction, 4 moles of iron reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas.

Then 2.4 moles of iron will react with:-

[tex]2.4\ moles\ Fe\times\frac{3\ mol\ oxygen}{4moles\ Fe} =1.8\ mol\ oxygen[/tex]

So, 1.8 moles of oxygen react with 2.4 moles of iron in the rusting reaction.
