When 440.23 grams of iron(III) oxide are reacted with hydrogen gas, the amount of iron produced will be 307.66 grams

Stoichiometric calculation

From the equation of the reaction:

[tex]Fe_2O_3 + 3H_2 --- > 2Fe + 3H_2O[/tex]

The mole ratio of iron(III) oxide to produced iron is 1:2.

Mole of 440.23 iron(III) oxide = 440.23/159.69 = 2.76 moles

Equivalent mole of produced iron = 2.76 x 2 = 5.52 moles

Mass of 5.52 moles of iron = 5.52 x 55.8 = 307.66 grams
