Iron Production Limiting Reagent
Consider the following reaction occurring in the blast furnace.
Fe3O4(s) + 4CO(g) → 3Fe(l) + 4CO2(g)
‘x’ kg of iron is produced when 2.32 × 103 kg Fe3O4 and 2.8 × 102 kg CO are brought together in the furnace. The value of ‘x’ is ____. (nearest integer)
{Given : Molar mass of Fe3O4 = 232 g mol–1 ; Molar mass of CO = 28 g mol–1 ;
Molar mass of Fe = 56 g mol–1}
