CHM 101 Stoichiometry Objective Question

Question

Using the reaction 3Mg + Fe₂O₃ → 3MgO + 2Fe, what maximum mass of Fe can be produced from 0.252 mol Fe₂O₃?
Options
A 28.2 g
Correct Answer
B 7.04 g
C 14.1 g
D 37.3 g
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

0.252 mol Fe₂O₃ produces twice as many moles of Fe (0.504 mol). Multiplying by molar mass gives about 28.2 g.
