The extraction of iron from ore is represented by the chemical reaction equation. Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2
Calculate the mass of carbon (II) oxide required for the reduction of 40 kg of iron (III) oxide

21 Kg of CO.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO —> 2Fe + 3CO₂

Next, we shall determine the masses of Fe₂O₃ and CO that reacted from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Molar mass of Fe₂O₃ = (56×2) + (16×3)

= 112 + 48

= 160 g/mol

Mass of Fe₂O₃ from the balanced equation = 1 × 160 = 160 g

Molar mass of CO = 12 + 16 = 28 g/mol

Mass of CO from the balanced equation = 3 × 28 = 84 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

160 g Fe₂O₃ required 84 g of CO.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of of CO required for the reduction of 40 kg of Fe₂O₃. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

160 g Fe₂O₃ required 84 g of CO.

Therefore, 40 Kg of Fe₂O₃ will require = (40 kg × 84 g) / 160 g = 21 Kg of CO.

Thus, 21 Kg of CO is required for the reaction.

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
