Answer to Question #182405 in General Chemistry for Katie

Question

1. Iron(III) oxide reacts with carbon monoxide to produce iron and a gas. When tested with a burning wood splint, the flame was extinguished. Jack and Jill performed this reaction and it resulted in 19.8 g of iron. 

2.    Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.

3.Assuming we started with 32.5 grams of iron(III) oxide, what will be the yield 

       of iron?

4.What is the percent yield?

 5.What would be their percent error?

6.How many liters of carbon monoxide would be required to produce the theoretical yield

       of iron?

Answer 1

$Fe_2O_3+3CO→2Fe+3CO_2$

Percent Yield =$84\%$

Percent Error =$0.42\%$

Volume of Carbon monoxide ;320 mL
