Iron (III) oxide reacts with carbon monoxide to produce iron and carbon dioxide:
Fe2O3 (s) + 3CO(g) 2Fe (s) + 3 CO2 (g)
54.4 g of Fe2O3and 24.7 g of CO react to produce iron.
Molar mass of Fe2O3 = 159.69 g/mol. Molar mass of CO = 28.01 g/mol.
Determine the (a) limiting reactant, (b) theoretical yield, and (c) percent yield for the reaction if 29.1 g of iron are produced.
