Question
The reduction of iron(III) oxide to iron during steel-making can be summarized by this sequence of reactions:
2 C(s) + O₂(g)
2 CO (g)
K₁
Fe₂O3 (s) + 3 CO (g) = 2 Fe (1) + 3 CO₂ (g)
K₂
The net reaction is:
K
2 Fe₂O3 (s) +6C(s) + 3 O₂ (g) = 4 Fe (1) +6CO₂ (g)
Write an equation that gives the overall equilibrium constant K in terms of the equilibrium constants K₁ and K₂. If you need to include any physical constants,
be sure you use their standard symbols, which you'll find in the ALEKS Calculator.
