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

Choose the following statements that show evidence for a chemical reaction.
Leno4ka [110]

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction in which bonds between the reactants either break or form which leads to the formation of a new substance.

For example, 2Li + Cl_{2} \rightarrow 2LiCl

So, when we drop a sodium metal into water then it produces a frizzing sound which shows the metal is reacting with water.

We know that when two aqueous solutions chemically react with each other then it may lead to the formation of an insoluble substance which is known as precipitate.

This means that formation of a precipitate is also a chemical reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that following are the statements which show evidence for a chemical reaction.

  • Dropping sodium metal into water produces fizzing.
  • Mixing two aqueous solutions produces a precipitate.
