Answer: One of the reactions that occurs in a blast
Chapter 3, Problem 114P(choose chapter or problem)
One of the reactions that occurs in a blast furnace, where iron ore is converted to cast iron, is
\(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}+3 \mathrm{CO} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Fe}+3 \mathrm{CO}_{2}\)
Suppose that \(1.64\times10^3\mathrm{\ kg}\) of \(\mathrm{Fe}\) are obtained from a \(2.62 \times 10^{3}-\mathrm{kg}\) sample of \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\). Assuming that the reaction goes to completion, what is the percent purity of \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\) in the original sample?

Assuming that the reaction goes to completion, what is the percent purity of \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\) in the original sample?
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
Here, we are going to find out the purity % of in the original sample.
The given balanced chemical reaction is as follows.
From the above balanced chemical equation one mole produce two moles of Fe.
