Question

what mass of carbon monoxide is needed to react with 10g of iron(|||) oxide?​

Answer 1

answer:

"The equation for one of the reactions in the process of turning iron ore into the

metal is

Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) -> 2 Fe(s) + 3 CO2(g)

If you start with 2.00 kg of each reactant, what is the maximum mass of iron you

can produce? "

At 2000g, 17 moles of Fe2O3 will require 1428g CO to fully react, meaning Fe2O3 should be my limiting reagent. Since I can see the mole ratio in the equation is 1:2 (Fe2O3:Fe) is it as simple as doubling the number of moles of Fe2O3 and multiplying by the molar weight of Fe? My answer following this method is 1904g Fe.
