The reduction of iron(III) oxide (Fe,O,) to pure iron during the first step of steelmaking, 2 Fe,0, (s) 4Fe(s) + 30, (g) - is driven by the high-temperature combustion of coke, a purified form of coal: C(s) + O₂(g) - Co, (e) Suppose at the temperature of a blast furnace the Gibbs free energies of formation AG, of CO, and Fe₂O, are 436. kJ/mol and 840 kJ/mol, respectively. Calculate the maximum mass of pure iron that can be produced by the combustion of 540. t of coke. (One metric ton, symbol, equals 1000 kg.) Round your answer to 2 significant digits. kg O.P 2 ?
