Question: Step 1 : 4 F e S 2 ( s ) + 1 1 O 2 ( g ) 2 F e 2 O 3

Step 1: 4FeS2(s)+11O2(g)2Fe2O3(s)+8SO2(g)
Step 2: Fe2O3(s)+3CO(g)3CO2(g)+2Fe(s)
Extraction of Fe(s) from pyrite, FeS2, is a two-step process, as represented above. The maximum amount of Fe(s) that could be extracted from 120 grams of FeS2(molar mass 120gmol) is approximately
(A)28 grams
(B)56 grams
(C)84 grams
(D)112 grams
 Step 1: 4FeS2(s)+11O2(g)2Fe2O3(s)+8SO2(g) Step 2: Fe2O3(s)+3CO(g)3CO2(g)+2Fe(s) Extraction of Fe(s) from pyrite,
