The balanced equation is Fe₂O₃ + 3 CO = 2 Fe + 3 CO₂.
Next step is to convert everything to moles.
12.6g Fe₂O₃ x (1 mol Fe₂O₃ / 159.7g Fe₂O₃) = 0.07890 mol Fe₂O₃ 
9.65g CO x (1 mol CO / 28.01g CO) = 0.3445 mol CO
The third step is to determine the limiting and excess reactants.
0.07890 mol Fe₂O₃ x (3 mol CO/1 mol Fe₂O₃) = 0.2367 mol CO
Therefore Fe₂O₃ is the limiting reagent while CO is in excess.

0.07890 mol Fe x (2 mol Fe(s) / 1 mol Fe₂O₃) = 0.1578 mol Fe(s) 
0.1578 mol Fe x (55.84g Fe / mole Fe) = 8.812g Fe is the theoretical yield
%yield = (7.23g / 8.812g) x 100% = 82.0% is the percent yield

Describe the three main types of plate boundary interactions:
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

In the explanation

Explanation:

Divergent: When two plates are diverging from each other, meaning that the two plates are moving away from each other. Events that may occur include ridges or rifts.

Convergent: When two plates are moving towards each other.

If a continental plate and an oceanic plate are converging, the oceanic plate would slide underneath the continental plate since it is thinner. This would result in subduction, which means that part of the oceanic plate would hang underneath the continental plate, where magma can melt the hanging part.

If two continental plates are converging, the crash would result in mountains or volcanic activity. Magma could rise and rush from the crack. There would be a bump in these tectonic plates.

Transform: When two plates are sliding past each other. Earthquakes can occur when the plates are sliding. When an oceanic plate is involved, the movement of the plates could cause a tsunami as well. The water above the transform fault could rise, and grow bigger and bigger. The 2011 Japan Tsunami is a good example of this.

Hope this helps!

How are mass and weight related to gravitational force
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Mass is Universal and weight is tied to the strength of the gravitational force of the planet .

Explanation:

The reason is because without mass you have no weight witch means if you have a certain amount of mass you will have a certain weight .
