Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 88AE
Le Chatelier noted that many industrial processes of his time could be improved by an understanding of chemical equilibria. For example, the reaction of iron oxide with carbon monoxide was used to produce elemental iron and CO2 according to the reaction
Fe2O3 (g) + 3 CO (g) ⇌ 2Fe(s) + 3CO2 (g)
Even in Le Chatelier's time, it was noted that a great deal of CO was wrote,”Because this incomplete reaction was thought to be due to an insufficiently prolonged contact between carbon monoxide and the iron or [oxide], the dimensions of the furnaces have been increased. In England, they have been made as high as 30 m. But the proportion of carbon monoxide escaping has not diminished, thus demonstrating, by an experiment costing several hundred thousand francs, that the reduction of iron oxide by carbon monoxide is a limited reaction.
