The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation The reaction between iron (Fe) and oxygen (O₂) to form iron(III) oxide (Fe₂O₃) can be represented as: \[ 4 \text{Fe} + 3 \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the moles of oxygen (O₂) Given that the mass of oxygen is 4.8 g, we can calculate the number of moles of O₂ using the formula: \[ \text{Moles of O}_2 = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{4.8 \, \text{g}}{32 \, \text{g/mol}} = 0.15 \, \text{moles} \] ### Step 3: Determine the moles of iron (Fe) required From the balanced equation, we know that 3 moles of O₂ react with 4 moles of Fe. Therefore, we can find out how many moles of Fe are required for 0.15 moles of O₂: \[ \text{Moles of Fe required} = 0.15 \, \text{moles O}_2 \times \frac{4 \, \text{moles Fe}}{3 \, \text{moles O}_2} = 0.20 \, \text{moles Fe} \] ### Step 4: Identify the limiting reagent We have 0.15 moles of Fe available, but we need 0.20 moles of Fe to react with 0.15 moles of O₂. Therefore, Fe is the limiting reagent. ### Step 5: Calculate the mass of oxygen consumed Next, we need to determine how much oxygen reacts with the available iron. Since 4 moles of Fe react with 3 moles of O₂, we can find out how much O₂ is consumed by 0.15 moles of Fe: \[ \text{Moles of O}_2 \text{ consumed} = 0.15 \, \text{moles Fe} \times \frac{3 \, \text{moles O}_2}{4 \, \text{moles Fe}} = 0.1125 \, \text{moles O}_2 \] Now, converting this to grams: \[ \text{Mass of O}_2 \text{ consumed} = 0.1125 \, \text{moles} \times 32 \, \text{g/mol} = 3.6 \, \text{g} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the mass of oxygen left over We initially had 4.8 g of O₂, and after the reaction, 3.6 g was consumed. Thus, the mass of O₂ left is: \[ \text{Mass of O}_2 \text{ left} = 4.8 \, \text{g} - 3.6 \, \text{g} = 1.2 \, \text{g} \] ### Step 7: Calculate the mass of iron(III) oxide (Fe₂O₃) produced From the balanced equation, 4 moles of Fe produce 2 moles of Fe₂O₃. Therefore, for 0.15 moles of Fe: \[ \text{Moles of Fe}_2\text{O}_3 \text{ produced} = 0.15 \, \text{moles Fe} \times \frac{2 \, \text{moles Fe}_2\text{O}_3}{4 \, \text{moles Fe}} = 0.075 \, \text{moles Fe}_2\text{O}_3 \] Now, converting this to grams: \[ \text{Mass of Fe}_2\text{O}_3 = 0.075 \, \text{moles} \times 160 \, \text{g/mol} = 12 \, \text{g} \] ### Conclusion Based on the calculations: 1. Iron (Fe) is the limiting reagent. 2. The mass of oxygen left over is 1.2 g. 3. The mass of iron(III) oxide (Fe₂O₃) produced is 12 g. ### Summary of Correct Statements - Statement 1: Iron is the limiting reagent (Correct) - Statement 2: The mass of oxygen left over is 1.2 g (Correct) - Statement 3: The mass of iron oxide produced is 12 g (Correct) - Statement 4: Oxygen is the limiting reagent (Incorrect)

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation The reaction between iron (Fe) and oxygen (O₂) to form iron(III) oxide (Fe₂O₃) can be represented as: \[ 4 \text{Fe} + 3 \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the moles of oxygen (O₂) Given that the mass of oxygen is 4.8 g, we can calculate the number of moles of O₂ using the formula: ...
