JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 1. Some basic concept of chemistry

Production of iron in blast furnace follows the following equation \(Fe _{3} O _{4}( s )+4 CO ( g ) \rightarrow 3 Fe ( l )+4 CO _{2}( g )\) when \(4.640 \,kg\) of \(Fe _{3} O _{4}\) and \(2.520 \,kg\) of \(CO\) are allowed to react then the amount of iron (in \(g\) ) produced is \(....\) [Given : Molar Atomic mass \(\left( g\, mol ^{-1}\right): Fe =56\) Molar Atomic mass \(\left( g \,mol ^{-1}\right): 0=16\) Molar Atomic mass \(\left( g\, mol ^{-1}\right):= C =12\)

  1. A \(1400\)
  2. B \(2200\)
  3. C \(3360\)
  4. D \(4200\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3360\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Moles of \(Fe _{3} O _{4}=\frac{4.640 \times 10^{3}}{232}=20\) Moles of \(CO =\frac{2.52 \times 10^{3}}{28}=90\) So limiting Reagent \(= Fe _{3} O _{4}\) So moles of \(Fe\) formed \(=60\) Weight of \(Fe =60 \times 56=3360\, gms\)
