<h3>Answer:</h3>

Theoretical mass = 17.42 g

Percent yield of Fe = 86.11%

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The equation for the reaction between iron (iii) oxide and carbon monoxide is given by;

Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)

We are required to calculate the theoretical yield and the percentage yield of Iron.

Step 1: Moles of iron (iii) oxide

Moles are given by dividing the mass of the compound by the molar mass.

Molar mass of Iron(iii) oxide = 159.69 g/mol

Moles of Iron(III) oxide = 25 g ÷ 159.69 g/mol

                                     = 0.156 moles

Step 2: Moles of Iron produced

From the equation 1 mole of Iron(iii) oxide reacts to produce 2 moles of Fe.

Therefore, the mole ratio of Fe₂O₃ to Fe is 1 : 2.

Thus, moles of Fe = Moles of Fe₂O₃ × 2

                              = 0.156 moles × 2

                              = 0.312 moles

Step 3: Theoretical mass of iron produced

To calculate the mass of iron we multiply the number of moles of iron with the relative atomic mass.

Relative atomic mass = 55.845

Mass of iron = 0.312 moles × 55.845

                    = 17.42 g

Step 4: Percent yield of iron

% yield = (Actual mass ÷ Theoretical mass)×100

            = (15 g ÷ 17.42 g) × 100 %

            = 86.11%

puteri [66]

Answer:

  1. Elimination
  2. Elimination
  3. Zaitsev
  4. Zaitsev
  5. Carbocation

Explanation:

  • The mechanism is generally accepted to always operate via an ELIMINATION step-wise process.
  • The ELIMINATION mechanism process will always produce (after dehydration) a ZAITSEV style alkene as major product
  • The driving force for the production of this ZAITSEV style alkene product is generally going to be determined by stability of the CARBOCATION

Elimination mechanism is the removal of two substituents  from a molecule in either a one- or two-step mechanism

Carbocation is a molecule containing a positive charged carbon atom and three bonds

Weight measures
jasenka [17]

Answer: D) The effect of gravity on an object

Explanation: We're not talking about mass, we're talking about weight. Weight is measured by the force of gravity on a object. For examples, you might be 100 pounds on Earth but 12 pounds on the moon.
