Calculate the amount of oxygen required to produce enough  on reaction with , which can reduce  :

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Strategy:
 We link two reactions: first, the production of  from Oxygen, and second, the reduction of  by . The amount of Oxygen required is determined by tracking the moles (or equivalents) of Carbon Monoxide needed to react with the given mass of Iron(III) oxide.

Step 1: Determine moles of } \ce{Fe2O3} 	ext{ to be reduced
Molar mass of .

Step 2: Calculate } \ce{CO} 	ext{ required from stoichiometry
Reaction: .
From balanced equation, 1 mole  moles .
Thus,  requires .

Step 3: Calculate Ox
