Iron is obtained by reduction of iron(iii)oxide gas in a blast furnace.calculate the amount of iron(iii)oxide needed to produce 100tonnes of iron.

1 answer

One reaction is

Fe2O3 + 3CO = 2Fe + 3CO2

So, figure the number of moles of iron produced, and you will need 1/2 that many moles of Fe2O3.

Then convert that back to mass
