Question

Fe3Br8 – an important source of potassium bromide is produced through the following two-stage process:

 

Stage 1: 3 Fe + 3 Br2  3 FeBr2

Stage 2: 3 FeBr2 + Br2  Fe3Br8

 

The reaction in the first stage proceeds with a 92% yield, while the yield of the reaction in stage 2 is currently unknown. (Atomic masses: Fe = 55.85, Br = 79.9)

(b) Considering that you used 71.55 g of bromine gas, Br2, for the reaction in stage 2, what then are the limiting and the excess reactants for this reaction? Provide calculations to prove your answer.
