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

Consider the following voltaic cell:(b) In which half-cell does oxidation occur?
damaskus [11]

At the anode, half-cell oxidation occurs in a voltaic cell.

<h3>Voltaic Cell Principle</h3>

A voltaic cell generates electricity due to the Gibbs free energy of spontaneous redox processes occurring inside the cell, which is the basis for the voltaic cell's operating principle.

Two half-cells plus a salt bridge make up the voltaic cell. An electrolyte-immersed metallic electrode is present on each side of the cell. These two half-cells are wired together to form a connection to a voltmeter.

<h3>Voltaic Cell Parts</h3>
  • Copper makes comprises the cathode of a photovoltaic cell. This electrode serves as the cell's positive terminal, where reduction takes place.
  • Anode: Zink metal makes up this electrode. It creates the cell's negative electrode, where oxidation takes place.
  • Oxidation and reduction are divided into two discrete parts in two half-cells.
  • Salt Bridge: It contains the electrolytes needed to finish the circuit in the voltaic cell.
  • The flow of electrons between the electrodes occurs via the external circuit.

Which two changes would make this reaction reactant-favored?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Two changes would make this reaction reactant-favored

C. Increasing the temperature

D. Reducing the pressure

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2H₂ + O₂ ⇒ 2H₂0 + energy

Required

Two changes would make this reaction reactant-favored

Solution

The formation of H₂O is an exothermic reaction (releases heat)

If the system temperature is raised, then the equilibrium reaction will reduce the temperature by shifting the reaction in the direction that requires heat (endotherms). Conversely, if the temperature is lowered, then the equilibrium shifts to a reaction that releases heat (exothermic)  

While on the change in pressure, then the addition of pressure, the reaction will shift towards a smaller reaction coefficient  

in the above reaction: the number of coefficients on the left is 3 (2 + 1) while the right is 2

As the temperature rises, the equilibrium will shift towards the endothermic reaction, so the reaction shifts to the left towards H₂ + O₂( reactant-favored)

And reducing the pressure, then the reaction shifts to the left H₂ + O₂( reactant-favored)⇒the number of coefficients is greater
