Solution
Reaction Involved- 2VO+3Fe2O3→6FeO+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 gof VOrequires479 gFe2O3 2 g of VO requires Fe2O3=479133.88 x 2 = 7.155 g But we have only 5.75 g Fe2O3.
Hence, Fe2O3is the limiting reagent
Molecular mass of FeO = 71.84 g/mol Molecular mass of 6 mol FeO = 431.04 g From 479 g Fe2O3we are getting 431.04 g FeO
Therefore, from 5.75 g, FeO formed = 431.04479 x 5.75
