1.0 mol of Fe reacts completely with 0.65 mol of 02 to give a mixture ...
2Fe + O2 →→ 2FeO
4Fe + 3O2 →→2Fe2O3
Let x moles of Fe reacts to produce FeO
Thus amount of Fe reacted to produce Fe2O3 = 1-x Moles
Now
2 Moles of Fe reacts to produce FeO with = 1 moles of O2
1 moles of Fe reacts to produce FeO with = 1/2 moles of O2
x moles of Fe to produce FeO with = 0.5x moles of O2
4 moles of Fe reacts to produce Fe2O3 with = 3 moles of O2
1-x moles of Fe reacts to produce Fe2O3 = (3/4) x (1-x) Moles of O2
EQUATION :
1) 0.5x + 3/4(1−x) =0.65 moles of O2
Thus
x = 0.4 moles
2 Moles of Fe produces = 2 mole of FeO
0.4 moles of Fe produces = 0.4 moles of FeO
4 moles of Fe produces = 2 moles of Fe2O3
(1-0.4 )moles of Fe produces = (1/2) x 0.6 Moles = 0.3 moles of Fe2O3
Thus
FeO/Fe2O3 = 0.4/0.3 = 43
