Consider the following reaction. 3 Fe(s) + 4 H2O(g) Fe3O4(s) + 4 H2(g) At 900°C, Kc for the reaction is 5.1. If 0.050 mol of H2O(g) and 0.100 mol of Fe(s) are placed in a 1.0 L container at 900°C, how many grams of Fe3O4 are present when equilibrium is established? (This one is somewhat hard.)

Answer:

[tex]m_{Fe_3O_4}=1.7gFe_3O_4[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering the given reaction:

[tex]3 Fe(s) + 4 H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons Fe_3O_4(s) + 4 H_2(g)[/tex]

Thus, for the equilibrium, just water and hydrogen participate as iron and iron(II,III) oxide are solid:

[tex]Kc=\frac{[H_2]^4}{[H_2O]^4}[/tex]

Thus, at the beginning, the concentration of water is 0.05 M and consequently, at equilibrium, considering the ICE procedure, we have:

[tex]5.1=\frac{(4x)^4}{(0.05M-4x)^4}[/tex]

Thus, the change [tex]x[/tex] is obtained as:

[tex]\sqrt[4]{5.1} =\sqrt[4]{[\frac{(4x)}{(0.05M-4x)}]^4}\\\\1.5=\frac{(4x)}{(0.05M-4x)}\\\\x=0.0075M[/tex]

Thus, the moles of hydrogen at equilibrium are:

[tex][H_2]_{eq}=4*0.0075\frac{mol}{L}*1.0L=0.03molH_2[/tex]

Therefore, the grams of iron(II,III) oxide finally result:

[tex]m_{Fe_3O_4}=0.03molH_2*\frac{1molFe_3O_4}{4molH_2}*\frac{231.533gFe_3O_4}{1molFe_3O_4} \\m_{Fe_3O_4}=1.7gFe_3O_4[/tex]

The amount of Fe₃O₄ present will be "1.736 g".

Equilibrium

According to the question,

The reaction is:

→ 3Fe (s) + 4H₂O (g) [tex]\rightleftharpoons[/tex] Fe₃O₄ (s) + 4H₂ (g)

Mol of Fe (s) = 0.100

Mol of H₂O (h) = 0.050

We know that the equilibrium be:

→  Kc = [tex]\frac{[H_2]^4}{[H_2O]^4}[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

    5.1 = [tex]\frac{x^4}{(0.050-x)^4}[/tex]

 √5.1 = [tex]\frac{x}{(0.050-x)}[/tex]

1.503 = [tex]\frac{x}{(0.050-x)}[/tex]

By applying cross-multiplication, we get

      x = 0.030  

Now,

The no. of moles Fe₃O₄ produced,

= [tex]\frac{0.030}{4}[/tex]

= 0.0075 mole

hence,

The Fe₃O₄ present be:

= 231.5326 × 0.0075

= 1.736 g

Thus the above answer is correct.
