The equation for one of the reactions in the process of turning iron ore into the metal is

Fe2O3 (s) + 3CO2 (g) → 2Fe (s) + 3CO2 (g)

If you start with 3.00 kg of each reactant, what is the maximum mass of iron you can produce?

    2100g or 2.1kg

    Explanation:

    Based on the equation given,

    One mole of Fe2O3 gives two moles of Fe

    Molar mass for Fe2O3 is 160g/mol

    Molar mass for two Fe is 112g/mol

    Convert 3kg to gram

    3*1000=3000grams

    160g of Fe2O3-112 g of Fe

    3000g of Fe2O3-xg of Fe

    Xg=3000*112/160

    Xg=2100g

    To convert to kg

    2100/1000=2.1kg

    Mass of Fe is 2.1kg
