Given the following equation, what is the correct form of the conversion factor needed to convert the number of moles o2 to the number of moles of fe reacted?

4fe + 3o2 --> 2fe2o3

4 mol fe
3 mol o2

2 mol fe2o3
4 mol fe

4 mol fe
2 mol fe2o3

3 mol o2
2 mol fe2o3

Option A says we have 4 moles of Fe for each 3 moles O2

This is correct For 3 moles of O2 consumed, we need 4 moles of Fe to be reacted

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Step 2: The balanced equation

4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3

Step 3: Calculate the mol ratio

For 3 moles O2 we'll have 4 moles Fe

Option A says we have 4 moles of Fe for each 3 moles O2

This is correct For 3 moles of O2 consumed, we need 4 moles of Fe to be reacted

Option b says we have 2 mole Fe2O3 for each 4 moles Fe

This doesnt say anything about O2. So doesn't apply for this question.

Option C says we have 4 moles of Fe for each 2 moles Fe2O3

This is the same as option B, so doesn't apply for this question.

Option D says for each 3 moles of O2 we have 2 Fe2O3

This is true, but doesn't say anything about Fe so doesn't apply here.

i think it is true since you can test the answer and can use observations to complete it.

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation

this is not my own answer, this is an answer for the same question by the user blahblahmali. i do not claim ownership of this account.
