The reaction of hydrogen gas and iron oxide is described by the chemical equation below. 3H2+Fe2O3→2Fe+3H2O How many moles of iron will be produced if 3.3mol of hydrogen gas reacts with 1.5mol of iron oxide?

2.2 moles of Fe will be produced

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles of hydrogen gas = 3.3 moles

Number of moles of iron oxide = 1.5 moles

Step 2: The balanced equation

3H2 + Fe2O3 → 2Fe + 3H2O

Step 3: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 3 moles H2 we need 1 mol Fe2O3 to produce 2 moles Fe and 3 moles H2O

Hydrogen gas is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (3.3 moles). Fe2O3 is in excess. There will react 3.3 / 3 = 1.1 moles

There will remain 1.5 - 1.1 = 0.4 moles Fe2O3

Step 4: Calculate moles Fe

For 3 moles H2 we need 1 mol Fe2O3 to produce 2 moles Fe and 3 moles H2O

For 3.3 moles H2 we'll have 2/3 * 3.3 = 2.2 moles Fe

2.2 moles of Fe will be produced
