Expert Solution
Step 1

Amount of iron to be manufactured = 3 tonnes

The given equation for the reaction is

2Fe + 3H2O
Fe,O3 + 3H7
Step 2

mass of iron given = 3ton x 2000lb/ton x 454g/lb= 2724000g

No of moles of iron to be manufactured

given mass
no of moles
molecular mass
2724000g
56g/mol
=48642.86mol
Step 3

Amount of hydrogen needed

2 moles of iron need 3 moles of hydrogen
3
48642.86 moles of iron would need -x 48642.86 moles of hydrogen
2
= 72964.29 moles of hydrogen
