B) How many kilograms of carbon dioxide are formed when 24.42 g of iron is
produced?

0.0289 kg of CO2 will be formed

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of iron produced = 24.42 grams

Atomic mass iron = 55.845 g/mol

Molar mass CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2

Step 3: Calculate moles iron

Moles iron = mass iron / molar mass iron

Moles iron = 24.42 grams / 55.845 g/mol

Moles iron = 0.437 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles CO2

For 1 mol Fe2O3 we need 3 moles CO to produce 2 moles Fe and 3 moles CO2

For 0.437 moles Fe we'll have 3/2 * 0.437 = 0.6555 moles CO2

Step 5: Calculate mass CO2

Mass CO2 = moles CO2 * molar mass CO2

Mass CO2 = 0.6555 moles * 44.01 g/mol

Mass CO2 = 28.85 grams = 0.0289 kg

0.0289 kg of CO2 will be formed
