☐ kg
The reduction of iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) to pure iron during the first step of steelmaking,
2 Fe2O3(s) → 4Fe(s) + 302 (g)
is driven by the high-temperature combustion of coke, a purified form of coal:
C(s) + O2(g) → CO₂ (g)
Suppose at the temperature of a blast furnace the Gibbs free energies of formation AG, of CO2 and Fe2O3 are -424. kJ/mol and -838. kJ/mol, respectively.
Calculate the minimum mass of coke needed to produce 580. t of pure iron. (One metric ton, symbol t, equals 1000 kg.)
Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
