Ferrocene, [Fe(C10H10)(s) ;molar mass 186.03 g/mol]can be prepared by reacting 3.0 g of FeCl2(s) [molar mass =126.75 g/mol] with 5.7 g of cyclopentadiene [C5H6(l);molar mass 66.01 g/mol]and an excess of KOH, as shown in the following reaction FeCl2 + 2C5H6 + 2KOH → FeC10H10 + 2H2O A student who carried out this reaction obtained 2.7 g of ferrocene. Of the following choices which has three correct answers? is limiting; 4.40 g of ferrocene could be theoretically formed; obtained 61.36 % yield
