QUESTION:
Iron and oxygen react to form iron(III) oxide.4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) ? 2Fe2O3(s)Determine the limiting reactant in each of the following mixtures of reactants:a. 2.0 mol of Fe and 6.0 mol of O2b. 5.0 mol of Fe and 4.0 mol of O2c. 16.0 mol of Fe and 20.0 mol of O2
ANSWER:Solution 68 QPHere we have to determine the limiting reactant in each of the following mixtures of reactants:Iron and oxygen react to form iron(III) oxide.4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) 2Fe2O3(s)Step-1a. 2.0 mol of Fe and 6.0 mol of O2In this reaction 2 moles of Fe2O3 has formed from 4 mol of Fe and 2 moles of Fe2O3 has formed from 3 moles of O2.Mole of Fe2O3 produced from Fe2.0 mole of Fe = 1 mol of Fe2O3Moles Fe2O3 of produced from O26.0 mole of O2 = 4 mol
