@sweetburger sean are you good at Stoichiometry?

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Yea, im alright at it.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

hallelujah

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

lol :P

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

Given the reaction, Fe2O3 + 3 CO ➡ 2 Fe + 3 CO2, if 12.0 moles of CO2 are made, then how many moles of CO were used? 12.0 moles 6.0 moles 4.0 moles 3.0 moles

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

and then how do I know?

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

So we just work backwards here. I will set it up so you can see how to do these |dw:1461285172826:dw|

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

|dw:1461285248288:dw|

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

So you can basically ignore the 3/3 because it equals 1 so you are left with 12 moles of CO

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

how do they cross out if one is CO2 and one is just CO?

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

I only crossed out moles of CO2. The moles of CO was left untouched.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

ohhh and the 3's themselve are just one. I C I C

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

yes very good.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

what about the 2 mole of FE?

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

"what 2 moles of Fe?" No, but seriously if the question doesn't say anything about the 2 mole of Fe you can just ignore it.

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

You are specifically observing CO and CO2. Nothing Else.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

oh ok :)

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

need help with any others?

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

it was 12.0 right?

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

yes correct :)

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

okay so the next one is wierd because it actually combines the elements... I'll tag you :)

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

alrighty
