Theoretical yield is the amount supposedly produced by the reaction if it was complete. The balanced chemical reaction is:

Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO<span>(g) = 2 Fe(s) + 3 </span>CO<span>2(g)
</span>
We use the amounts given for the reactants as the starting point of the calculations. We do as follows:

13.4 g Fe2O3 ( 1 mol / <span>159.69 g ) = 0.08 mol
</span>12.3 g CO ( 1 mol / 28.01 ) = 0.44 mol

Therefore, the limiting reactant would be Fe2O3. We use this for the theoretical yield.

0.08 mol ( 2 mol Fe / 1 mol Fe2O3 ) = 0.16 mol Fe (THEORETICAL YIELD)
8.23 g ( 1 mol / 55.85 g ) = 0.15 mol Fe ( ACTUAL YIELD)

Percent yield = 0.15 / 0.16 x 100 = 93.75%

"survival of the fittest" best means that an organism is​
Nat2105 [25]

The answer is: Survival of the form that will leave the most copies of itself in successive generations.

"Survival of the fittest" is a phrase that originated from Darwinian evolutionary theory.

This is example of natural selection and adaptation.

Genetic variation is important to the population's ability to survive in different situations that affect natural selection.  

The environment is constantly changing and different alleles are favored.
