3. When 5 moles of iron oxide (Fe,0z) reacts with 25 moles of
carbon monoxide, what is the moles of the product formed
when one of the reagents is used in excess?

Number of moles of Fe = 10 mol

Number of moles of CO₂ = 15 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of iron oxide = 5 mol

Number of moles of carbon monoxide = 25 mol

Number of moles of product = ?

Solution:

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO   →  2Fe + 3CO₂

Now we will compare the moles of reactant with product.

                  Fe₂O₃        :         Fe

                     1             :          2

                    5             :         2×5 = 10 mol

                Fe₂O₃        :         CO₂

                     1             :          3

                    5             :         3×5 = 15 mol

                  CO           :         Fe

                     3             :          2

                    25             :         2/3×25 = 16.7 mol

                  CO            :         CO₂

                     3             :          3

                    25             :         25

Less number of moles of Fe and CO₂ are formed by iron oxide thus it will act as limiting reactant while CO is inn excess.

Diamond and graphite forms of carbon) and silicon dioxide (silica) are examples of giant covalent structures (lattices) of atoms. All the atoms in these structures are linked to other atoms by strong covalent bonds and so they have very high melting points.
