Iron can be extracted from the iron(III) oxide found in iron ores (such as haematite)
via an oxidation-reduction reaction with carbon. The thermochemical equation for
this process is:
2 Fe203(s) + 3 C(s) → 4 Fe(1) + 3 CO2(g) AH°
= +467.9 kJ

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

The weight of Fe2O3 is 387 g.

The given reaction is,

2Fe2O3g+3Cs4Fel+3CO2g H°=+467.9 kJ

Step 2

The molar mass of Fe2Ois 159.69 g/mol.

The number of moles is,

Moles=MassMolar mass=387 g159.69 g/mol=2.42 mol

From the given reaction, it is clear that 2 moles of Fe2O3 produce 467.9 kJ heat. Therefore, 2.42 mol of will Fe2O3 produce,

2 mol of Fe2O3=467.9 kJ1 mol of Fe2O3=467.92 kJ2.42 mol of Fe2O3=2.42×467.92 kJ=566.159 kJ
