21.4 g Al * (1 mol / 26.98 g ) * (2 mol Fe / 2 mol Al) = 0.793 mol Fe 
91.3 g Fe2O3 * (1 mol / 159.69 g) * (2 mol Fe / 1 mol Fe2O3) = 1.14 mol Fe 
0.793 mol Fe * (55.85 g / 1 mol) = 44.3 g Fe produced.

Answer : The percent yield of iron is, 86.5 %

Explanation : Given,

Moles of iron(III)oxide = 0.450 mole

Mass of iron = Actual yield of Fe = 43.6 g

First we have to calculate the moles of iron.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2Al+Fe_2O_3\rightarrow 2Fe+Al_2O_3

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of Fe_2O_3 react to give 2 mole of Fe

So, 0.450 mole of Fe_2O_3 react to give \frac{2}{1}\times 0.450=0.9 moles of Fe

Now we have to calculate the mass of Fe.

\text{Mass of }Fe=\text{Moles of }Fe\times \text{Molar mass of }Fe

\text{Mass of }Fe=(0.9mole)\times (56g/mole)=50.4g

Therefore, the mass iron produces, 50.4 g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of Fe.

\%\text{ yield of }Fe=\frac{\text{Actual yield of }Fe}{\text{Theoretical yield of }Fe}\times 100=\frac{43.6g}{50.4g}\times 100=86.5\%

Therefore, the percent yield of Fe is, 86.5 %

Explain how ice acts as an agent of erosion and deposition
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Ice is the last major agent of weathering, erosion, and deposition.

Explanation:

Water often seeps into the cracks in rocks. When the temperature drops, the water in the cracks freeze and expand, causing the crack to widen. Eventually, the rock is broken into smaller pieces.
