5. Similar to aluminum, elemental iron must be obtained by refining ore through the equation shown here. Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) → 2 Fe(s) + 3 CO2(g) 187 g of Fe2O3 is reacted with 85.8 g CO, producing 72.3 g of Fe. Calculate the theoretical yield, identify the limiting reactant, and calculate the percent yield of this process. Show all work.
