Question

Iron is extracted from its ore via the reaction

$F e_{2} O_{3} + 3 C O \to 2 F e + 3 C O_{2}$

(Fe = 56amu)

The volume of CO (at STP) required to produce 2kg of Iron is ____________ Liters

$3 mole CO occupies = 3 \times 22.4$ $= 67.22$

$112 g F e production required = 67.2 L i t e r C O$

$2000 g F e - - - - = \frac{67.2}{112} \times 2000$

$= 1200 L i t e r s$
