In producing pure iron metal from its ore, iron(III) oxide and carbon (coke) must react according
to the following balanced chemical equation:
FerO-(s) + 3 C(s) › 2 Fe(s) + 3 CO (g)
Suppose 5.89 x10, mol of iron ore are consumed. How many moles of pure iron metal are produced?
A. 1.47 × 10 mol
B. 2.95 x 10, mol
C. 5.89 × 10 mol
D. 1.18 x 10+ mol
