Application +4 | -1
Consider the following reaction occurring in the blast furnace.

Fe3O4(s)+4CO(g)→3Fe(l)+4CO2(g)\mathrm{Fe}_3 \mathrm{O}_{4(\mathrm{s})}+4 \mathrm{CO}_{(\mathrm{g})} \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{Fe}_{({l})}+4 \mathrm{CO}_{2(\mathrm{g})}

'x' kg of iron is produced when 2.32×103 kg2.32 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~kg} Fe3O4\mathrm{Fe}_3 \mathrm{O}_4 and 2.8×102 kg2.8 \times 10^2 \mathrm{~kg} CO\mathrm{CO} are brought together in the furnace. The value of 'x' is ____. (nearest integer)

{Given:

Molar mass of Fe3O4=232 g mol−1\mathrm{Fe}_3 \mathrm{O}_4=232 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}

Molar mass of CO=28 g mol−1\mathrm{CO}=28 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}

Molar mass of Fe=56 g mol−1}\left.\mathrm{Fe}=56 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\right\}
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
420
Option A is correct because based on the stoichiometry of the reaction, 232 kg of Fe3O4 will produce 168 kg of Fe. Given the limiting reagent CO, 280 kg of CO will produce 420 kg of Fe.
