Question:

Iron ore is converted to pig iron in an industrial blast furnace. The pig iron, in turn, is converted to carbon steel by high-temperature oxidation. The blast furnace process takes place in a series of three reactions.

3 FeO3(s) + CO(g) Fe3O4(s) + CO(g) FeO(g) + CO(g) 200 C 700 C 1200 C 2 Fe3O4(s) + CO(8) 3 FeO(s) + CO(8) Fe

Starting with 1.00 kg of iron(III) oxide and excess carbon monoxide gas, calculate:

(a) The kilogram mass of iron(II) oxide produced

(b) The kilogram mass of iron produced

(c) The kilogram mass of iron produced assuming a 70.0% process yield.
