Chapter 4, Problem 4.4P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The limiting reactant for the given reaction is to be stated. The theoretical yield and percent yield of the given reaction is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The theoretical yield is calculated by the formula,

Theoretical yield $=\text{Mol}\times \text{Molar}\text{mass}$

The percentage yield is calculated by the formula,

$\text{Percent}\text{yield}=\frac{\text{Actual}\text{yield}}{\text{Theoretical}\text{yield}}\times \text{100}$

To determine: The limiting reactant, theoretical yield and percent yield of the reaction of $\text{167}\text{g}{\text{Fe}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}$ with $85.8\text{g}\text{CO}$ that produces $72.3\text{g}\text{Fe}$ .
