Solution

Reaction Involved-
2VO+3Fe2O36FeO+V2O5
Molecular mass of VO = 66.94 g/mol
Mass of 2 moles of VO = 133.88 g
Molecular mass of Fe2O3 = 159.69 g/mol
Mass of 3 moles = 479 g
Thus,
133.88 g
of VOrequires 479 gFe2O3
2 g of VO requires Fe2O3 =479133.88 x 2 = 7.155 g
But we have only 5.75 g Fe2O3.
Hence, Fe2O3 is the limiting reagent
Molecular mass of FeO = 71.84 g/mol
Molecular mass of 6 mol FeO = 431.04 g
From 479 g
Fe2O3 we are getting 431.04 g FeO
Therefore, from 5.75 g, FeO formed = 431.04479 x 5.75
= 5.17 g
