Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) ---> 2Fe(l) + 3CO2(g) Steve inserts 450. g of iron(III) oxide and 260. g of carbon monoxide into the blast

furnace. After cooling the pure liquid iron, Steve determines that he has produced 288g of iron ingots. Use the theoretical yield of liquid iron and the mass or iron ingots to calculate the percent yield of the reaction.

Answer: Theoretical yield is 313.6 g and the percent yield is, 91.8%

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} Fe_2O_3=\frac{450}{160}=2.8moles

\text{Moles of} CO=\frac{260}{28}=9.3moles

Fe_2O_3(s)+3CO(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(l)+3CO_2(g)

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of Fe_2O_3 require 3 moles of CO

Thus 2.8 moles of Fe_2O_3 will require=\frac{3}{1}\times 2.8=8.4moles  of CO

Thus Fe_2O_3 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and CO is the excess reagent.

As 1 mole of Fe_2O_3 give = 2 moles of Fe

Thus 2.8 moles of Fe_2O_3 give =\frac{2}{1}\times 2.8=5.6moles of Fe

Mass of Fe=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=2.6moles\times 56g/mol=313.6g

Theoretical yield of liquid iron = 313.6 g

Experimental yield = 288 g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Actual yield }}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100=\frac{288g}{313.6g}\times 100=91.8\%

Therefore, the percent yield is, 91.8%

I need all the answers 16-25

16. Metals have a structure containing delocalised electrons, meaning they can conduct electricity as they allow movement of charged particles.    17. groups of elements (columns) react in the same way, but depending on whether they group tends to lose or gain electrons the reactivity can increase or decrease when going down the group (column)     18. O2 is non polar as there is no difference in electronegativity between two oxygen atoms (they are the same). CO2 is non polar, it has polar bonds (O is more electronegative than C) but as it is symmetrical there is no polarity in the molecule.     19. Water is polar as the lone pairs on the O repel the delta + H groups so that the HOH angle is around 109deg, so water molecules create polar interactions which each other. These polar interactions require energy to break, so water has a higher boiling point than other small molecules which don't have these interactions.      20. The metal used is tough, and the horseshoe is usually heated meaning the metal will act slightly more viscous (closer to liquid). This means it can be moulded better, and then when its cooled it will become stronger and more brittle.       21. Well N2 + H2 --> NH3, by the haber process, so nitrogen:hydrogen ratio is 1:3. But what they want you to say is that nitrogen has 5 electrons and hydrogen has 1 and you're aiming for eight so you need N (5) + 3 Hs (3*1=3) to make NH3 (8 electrons around N)       22. Na and H, as this reduces the valence shell number and therefore reduces the energy state of the atom       23. Ar, its very stable as its octet is filled, meaning to fill or empty its octet it would have to lose or gain 8 electrons which is extremely hard        24. Oxygen, as it would accept the electrons donated by the 2 Na atoms, and fill its octet while emptying both the Na's     25. N2 and O2 are both covalently bonded, Oxygen forms a double bond to itself like this O=O and nitrogen forms a triple bond to itself like this N<span>≡N </span><span>Hope that helps :) and make sure you learn this, it'll come back and bite you when you need it for a test</span>
