In a blast furnace at high temperature, iron(III) oxide in ore reacts with carbon monoxide to produce metallic iron and carbon dioxide. The liquid iron produced is cooled and weighed. The reaction is run repeatedly with the same initial mass of iron(III) oxide, 19.0 g, but differing initial masses of carbon monoxide. The masses of iron obtained arc shown in this graph.
- (a) Write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction.
- (b) Calculate the mass of CO required to react completely with 19.0 g iron(III) oxide.
- (c) Calculate the mass of carbon dioxide produced when the reaction converts 10.0 g iron(III) oxide completely to products.
- (d) From the graph, determine which reactant is limiting when less than 10.0 g carbon monoxide is available to react with 19.0 g iron(III) oxide.
- (e) From the graph, determine which reactant is limiting when more than 10.0 g carbon monoxide is available to react with 19.0 g iron(III) oxide.
- (f) Calculate the percent yield if 24.0 g iron(III) oxide reacted with 20.0 g carbon monoxide to produce 15.9 g metallic iron.
- (g) Calculate the minimum mass of additional limiting reactant required to react with all of the excess of nonlimiting reactant from part (f).

For the given reaction, balanced equation has to be written.
Concept introduction:
Balanced Chemical equation:
A balanced chemical equation is an equation which contains same elements in same number on both the sides (reactant and product side) of the chemical equation thereby obeying the law of conservation of mass.
Balancing the equation:
- There is a Law for conversion of mass in a chemical reaction i.e., the mass of total amount of the product should be equal to the total mass of the reactants.
- First write the skeletal reaction from the given information.
- Then count the number of atoms of each element in reactants as well as products.
- Place suitable coefficients in front of reactants as well as products until the number of atoms on each side (reactants and products) becomes equal.
Explanation of Solution
Given,
While balancing the equation, the subscripts cannot be altered but coefficients can be changed. There are two iron atoms in the left side and one iron atom in the right side of the reaction. Therefore, two iron atoms are added to right side of reaction. Now, the balanced equation is given below.
Three molecule of carbon monoxide is added to the left side of the reaction and three molecules of carbon dioxide is added to the right side of the reaction. Now, the balanced equation is given below.
