Can someone please help me with this question
its very very important. If 27.0 g of Fe reacted with an excess of O2, how many
moles of Fe2O3 are formed?
4Fe+ 3O2-->2FeO3
4Fe+ 3O2-->2FeO3
The equation should read 4 Fe + 3 O2 -> 2
Fe2O3
The excess O2 indicates that the amount of Fe2O3 formed is determined by the number of moles of Fe
The number of moles of Fe is the mass of Fe available divided by the mass of a mole of Fe. This is 27g/56g=0.482 moles
The number of moles of Fe2O3 is half that number because there are 2 Fe in Fe2O3
Answer is 0.482 moles/2 = 0.241 moles
The excess O2 indicates that the amount of Fe2O3 formed is determined by the number of moles of Fe
