Question 56

Tungsten is extracted from tungsten(VI) oxide by heating it with hydrogen gas:

WO3+3H2→W+3H2O \text{WO}_3 + 3\text{H}_2 \rightarrow \text{W} + 3\text{H}_2\text{O} WO3​+3H2​→W+3H2​O
a.

Explain why this is an example of a redox reaction.

[2]
b.

Calculate the mass of tungsten that can be made from 454545 tonnes of tungsten(VI) oxide.

WO3+3H2→W+3H2O \text{WO}_3 + 3\text{H}_2 \rightarrow \text{W} + 3\text{H}_2\text{O} WO3​+3H2​→W+3H2​O

Give your answer to 2 significant figures.

Relative atomic mass (ArA_rAr​): W=184\text{W} = 184W=184 Relative formula mass (MrM_rMr​): WO3=232\text{WO}_3 = 232WO3​=232
