What is the actual yield of iron in moles?
actual yield:
molmol
What is the theoretical yield of iron in moles?
theoretical yield:
molmol
What is the percent yield?
percent yield:
%
Fe2O3+3C⟶2Fe+3CO
1 mole of Fe2O3 react with excess of C to gives 2 moles of Fe
0.371 moles of Fe2O3 react with excess of C to gives = 2*0.371/1 = 0.742 moles of Fe
Theoretical yield of iron = 0.742moles
no of moles of iron = W/G.A.Wt
= 18.9/55.845 = 0.3384moles
Actual yield of iron = 0.3384moles
percent yield = Actual yield*100/Theoretical yield
= 0.3384*100/0.742 = 45.6% >>>>.answer
