In the reaction Fe2O3 + 3CO a 2Fe + 3CO2, 10 moles of solid iron and 15 moles of carbon dioxide are produced from 5 moles of iron (|||) oxide and 15 moles of carbon monoxide (CO). What is the ratio of carbon monoxide to solid iron

Ratio is 3:2

3CO = 2Fe or 1.5 CO = 1 Fe

Explanation:

Fe2O3 + 3CO = 2Fe + 3CO2

Fe2O3 = Iron (|||) oxide

CO = Carbon monoxide

Fe = Solid Iron

CO2 = Carbon dioxide

Excellent is already balanced.

10 Moles Fe and 15 Moles of CO2

5 Moles Fe2O3 + 15 Moles 3CO = 10 Moles Fe + 15 Moles 3CO2

What is the ratio of carbon monoxide to solid iron

Ratio is 3:2 or 1.5 CO = 1 Fe
