Iron is extracted from iron oxide in the Blast Furnace: Fe 2 O 3 + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO 2
arsen [322]

a. mass of iron = 69.92 g

b. percent yield = 93%

<h3>Further eplanation </h3>

Percent yield is the compare of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated

General formula:

Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%

An actual yield is the amount of product actually produced by the reaction. A theoretical yield is the amount of product that you calculate from the reaction equation according to the product and reactant coefficients

a.

Reaction

Fe₂O₃+3CO⇒2Fe+3CO₂

MW Fe₂O₃ :  159.69 g/mol

mol Fe₂O₃

\tt \dfrac{100}{159,69}=0.626

mol Fe₂O₃ : mol Fe = 1 : 2

mol Fe :

\tt \dfrac{2}{1}\times 0.626=1.252

mass of Fe(Ar=55.845 g/mol) :

\tt 1.252\times 55.845=69.92~g

b.

actual yield = 65 g

theoretical yield = 69.92 g

percent yield :

\tt =\dfrac{65}{69.92}=0.93=93\%

In a compound, such as CH3OH, how determine which is the central atom?
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Choose the least electronegative atom other than H.

Explanation:

A Lewis structure consists of <em>terminal atoms</em> and one or more <em>central atoms</em>.

H can be <em>only a terminal atom</em> because it can form only one bond.

So the central atom must be either C or O.

The central atom is the less electronegative atom: C.

So, start the Lewis structure with a central C atom.

Then attach an O atom to get C-O.

Finally, attach the H atoms.

The condensed formula often gives you a clue where they go.

The formula CH₃OH implies that there are 3 H atoms on C and one on O.

The connectivity of the atoms is then as in the diagram below.
