How many grams of fe3o4 are required to react completely with 69.76 grams of h2?

=2023.04 grams

Explanation:

Magnetite reacts with hydrogen to produce Iron metal and steam. Steam instead of water is produced as the reaction occurs at temperatures above the boiling point of water.

Fe₃O₄ + 4 H₂ → 3 Fe +4 H₂O

From the equation, 1 mole of Fe₃O₄ reacts with 4 moles of H₂.

69.76 grams of H₂ has the following number of moles.

Number of moles= mass/RAM

=69.76/2

=34.88 moles.

The reaction ratio of Fe₃O₄ to H₂ is 1:4

Thus number of moles of magnetite= (1×34.88)/4

=8.72 moles.

Mass= moles × RAM

=8.72 moles × (56×3+16×4)

=2023.04 grams
