Question

Calculate the minimum of a mass of coke needed to produce 9500 kg of pure iron. Two sig figs for answer and don't round during the math. 

The reduction of iron(III) oxide (Fe,O,) to pure iron during the first step of steelmaking,
2 Fe2O3(s)4Fe(s) + 30,(8)
is driven by the high-temperature combustion of coke, a purified form of coal:
C(s) + 02(g)-
CO(g)
Suppose at the temperature of a blast furnace the Gibbs free energies of formation AG, of CO, and Fe,02 are 438. kJ/mol and -838. kJ/mol, respectively
Calculate the minimum mass of coke needed to produce 9500. kg of pure iron.
Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
