Calculate the number of grams of co that can react with 0.400 kg of fe2o3.
express your answer in grams to three significant figures.

mass of CO = 210.42 g

mass in three significant figures = 210. g

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of Fe2O3 = 0.400 Kg

mass of CO= ?

Solution:

chemical equation:

Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2

Now we will calculate the molar mass of  Fe2O3 and CO.

Molar mass of  Fe2O3 = (55.845 × 2) + (16 × 3) = 159.69 g/mol

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

now we will convert the kg of Fe2O3 in g.

mass of Fe2O3 = 0.400 kg × 1000 = 400 g

number of moles of Fe2O3  = 400 g/ 159.69 g/mol = 2.505 mol

mass of CO = moles of Fe2O3 × 3( molar mass of CO)

mass of CO = 2.505 mol × 84 g/mol

mass of CO = 210.42 g

mass in three significant figures = 210. g

The number of grams of CO that can react with 0.400 kg of is 210 g.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is

=210g CO is the Answer

The number of grams of CO that can react with 0.400 kg of is 210 g.
