What mass of iron can be obtained from 128 kg of iron oxide 3

1. Let’s write down the reaction equation:

2Fe2O3 + 3C = 2Fe + 3CO2.

2. Find the amount of iron oxide:

128 kg = 128000 g.

n (Fe2O3) = m (Fe2O3) / M (Fe2O3) = 128000 g / 160 g / mol = 800 mol.

3. According to the reaction equation, we find the amount, and then the mass of iron:

n (Fe) = n (Fe2O3) = 800 mol.

m (Fe) = n (Fe) * M (Fe) = 800 mol * 56 g / mol = 44800 g = 44.8 kg.

Answer: m (Fe) = 44.8 kg.
