Solution
The correct option is A4.32 Molar mass of VO=51+16=67g/mol
Molar mass of Fe2O3=2(56)+3(16)=160g/mol
6.7 g VO=6.767=0.1mol
4.8 g Fe2O3=4.8160=0.03 mol
0.1 moles of VO will react with 0.1×32=0.15 moles of Fe2O3, however, only 0.03 moles are present. Hence, VO is excess reagent and Fe2O3 is limiting reagent.
0.03 moles of Fe2O3 will give 0.03×63=0.06 moles of FeO.
