Reaction Stoichiometry
« on: July 15, 2005, 02:14:18 AM »
We've been given an example in our book about how to work out 'The number of moles of X produced in terms of the number of moles of Y consumed.'
I dunno how to do it, I'm really confused.
One of the questions I have is:

Fe2O3 (s) + 3CO (g) -> 2Fe (s) + 3CO2 (g)
The number of moles of Fe produced in terms of the number of moles of CO consumed

Please help me ^_^

I think that it might just be, for every 3 moles of CO consumend in that reaction 2 moles of Fe are produced.
Hug a chemist and see the reaction

Correct, it's a ratio.
