Hydrogen gas can be produced by the reaction of iron metal with
steam, as shown in the equation below:
3 Fe (s) + 4 H2O (g) à Fe3O4 (s) + 4 H2 (g)
If 40.00 g of iron are combined with 40.00 g of steam and reacted,
calculate (i) how many grams of hydrogen gas will be formed and
(ii) how many grams of the excess reagent will remain after the end
of the reaction.
