Calculate kg of elemental iron with given reaction?

Question

Iron oxides found in iron ores can be reduced to metallic iron when reacted with carbon monoxide. The equation is:  Fe2O3 + 3CO ---> 2Fe + 3CO2

a) How many kg of elemental iron can be formed if 16.0 kg of Fe2O3 is reacted with 10kg CO?
b) How many kg of CO2 will be produced in the reaction described in question above?
c) 16.0 kg Fe2O3 + 10 kg CO = 26 kg reactants
    11.2 kg Fe   + 13.2 kg CO2 = 14.4 products
    EXPLAIN this apparent inconsistency in the conservation of mass.

Roger the Mole · Accepted Answer

Fe2O3 + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO2

a)
(16.0 kg Fe2O3) / (159.6887 g Fe2O3/mol) = 0.100195 kmol Fe2O3
(10 kg CO) / (28.01021 g CO/mol) = 0.357013 kmol CO

0.100195 kmoles of Fe2O3 would react completely with 0.100195 x (3/1) = 0.300585 kmoles of CO, but there is more CO present than that, so CO is in excess and Fe2O3 is the limiting reactant.

(0.100195 kmol Fe2O3) x (2/1) x (55.8452 g Fe/mol) = 11.2 kg Fe

b) 
(0.100195 kmol Fe2O3) x (3/1) x (44.00964 g CO2/mol) = 13.2 kg CO2

c) All of the CO is not reacted. 
The correct expression for the reactants would be:
16.0 kg Fe2O3 + 8.4 kg CO = 24.4 kg reactants
The correct expression for the products would be:
11.2 kg Fe + 13.2 kg CO2 = 24.4 kg products

Weight W= m*g = p*V*g the place m = mass p = density V = volume g= 9.80 one gravitational acceleration From given diagram you could calculate area of each strip( internet,flanges) then multiply via thickness or length, you will get volume of each strip. then do upload them which would be volume of I-Beam. Density is supplies of cloth, which you will discover out for what grade form of metallic you're making use of seek density with the aid of internet. positioned those form of values you will get weight of I-Beams.
