Answer: Thus 234 kJ of energy are required to produce 1.00 kilogram of iron metal
Explanation:
To calculate the number of moles , we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}[/tex]
Putting values , we get:
[tex]\text{Moles of iron}=\frac{1000g}{56g/mol}=17.8moles[/tex] (1.00kg=1000g)
The balanced chemical reaction is:
[tex]Fe_2O_3(s)+2CO(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3CO_2(g)[/tex] [tex]\Delta H=+26.3kJ[/tex]
Given :
Energy released when 2 moles of [tex]Fe[/tex] is produced = 26.3 kJ
Thus Energy released when 17.8 moles of [tex]Fe[/tex] is produced =
= [tex]\frac{26.3kJ}{2}\times 17.8=234kJ[/tex]
Thus 234 kJ of energy are required to produce 1.00 kilogram of iron metal
