Question

Iron(III) oxide on heating with carbon monoxide gas reacts to form solid iron and liberates carbon dioxide gas

Answer 1

Answer: The equation for the reaction is given below.

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction of iron oxide with carbon oxide follows:

$Fe_2O_3(s)+3CO(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3CO_2(g)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of Iron (III) oxide reacts with 3 moles of carbon dioxide to produce 2 moles of solid iron and 3 moles of carbon dioxide gas.

Hence, the equation for the reaction is given above.
