The first step in a long process that converts iron ore into pure iron involves converting
iron ore into iron oxide. This step is accomplished through the following chemical
reaction:
4FeS₂ (s) + 110₂ (g) → 2Fe₂O, (s) + 8SO₂ (g)
iron oxide
iron ore
If an iron manufacturer starts with 2,512.0 moles of iron ore, how many moles of oxygen will be needed to react completely with the iron ore? How many moles of Iron Oxide will be made?
