Question

Stoichiometry help?
Given the following equation. $2F{e}_2{O}_3+3C\to 4Fe+3C{O}_2$ How many moles of carbon are required to completely react with $15.2$ moles of iron $\left(II\right)$ oxide?

Answer 1

Explanation:

You just have to use the mole ratio, which is obtained when you balance the equation

$2F{e}_2{O}_3+3C\to 4Fe+3C{O}_2$

Here you cross multiply to find the missing value,

$2:3$

$15.2$ moles: $x$

$X=22.8$
