Consider the following reaction occurring in the blast furnace.
$\mathrm{Fe}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{4(\mathrm{~s})}+4 \mathrm{CO}_{(\mathrm{g})} \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{Fe}_{(\mathrm{l})}+4 \mathrm{CO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}$
' $x$ ' kg of iron is produced when $2.32 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~kg}$ $\mathrm{Fe}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{4}$ and $2.8 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{CO}$ are brought together in the furnace. The value of ' $x$ ' is
________________ .
(nearest integer)
{Given :

Sol.
moles of $\mathrm{Fe}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{4}=\frac{2.32 \times 10^{3} \times 10^{3}}{232}=10000 \mathrm{~mol}$
moles of $\mathrm{CO}=\frac{2.8 \times 10^{2} \times 10^{3}}{28}=10000 \mathrm{~mol}$
$\mathrm{Fe}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{4}+4 \mathrm{CO} \longrightarrow 3 \mathrm{Fe}+4 \mathrm{CO}_{2}$
$10^{4} \mathrm{~mol} \quad 10^{4} \mathrm{~mol}$
CO is L.R.
mole of $\mathrm{Fe}=\frac{3}{4} \times 10^{4}$
mass of $\mathrm{Fe}=\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{10^{4} \times 56}{1000} \mathrm{~kg}=420 \mathrm{~kg}$
