<u>Answer:</u> The theoretical yield of iron (II) oxide is 5.53g and percent yield of the reaction is 93.49 %
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:
....(1)
- <u>For Iron:</u>
Given mass of iron = 4.31 g
Molar mass of iron = 53.85 g/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:
For the given chemical reaction:
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
2 moles of iron produces 2 moles of iron (ii) oxide.
So, 0.0771 moles of iron will produce = of iron (ii) oxide
Now, calculating the theoretical yield of iron (ii) oxide using equation 1, we get:
Moles of of iron (II) oxide = 0.0771 moles
Molar mass of iron (II) oxide = 71.844 g/mol
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
To calculate the percentage yield of iron (ii) oxide, we use the equation:
Experimental yield of iron (ii) oxide = 5.17 g
Theoretical yield of iron (ii) oxide = 5.53 g
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the theoretical yield of iron (II) oxide is 5.53g and percent yield of the reaction is 93.49 %
