For the reaction represented by the equation Fe + H2O ® Fe2O3 + H2, how many moles of iron(III) oxide are produced from 285 g of iron? Make sure your equation is balanced.

Respuesta :

Balanced equation: 2Fe + 3H2O → Fe2O3 +3H2

Convert g to mols:

285/55.845 = 5.1034 mols

Mole ratio of Iron and Iron (III) Oxide: 2:1

5.1034/2 = 2.5517 mols
