The reaction below represents the reduction of iron ore to produce iron.
2Fe2O3 + 3C=4Fe + 3CO2
A mixture of 30 kg of Fe2O3 and 5.0 kg of C was heated until no further reaction occurred.
a) Calculate the maximum mass of iron that can be obtained from these masses of reactants.
b) Calculate the volume of CO2 produced in dm3 at r.t.p. (1 mole of gas r.t.p. has a volume of 24 dm3)
c) Calculate the atom economy for this reaction
