<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%

Write a covalent compound formed by nitrogen and oxygen. what is its Lewis structure​
iragen [17]

Answer:

Two covalent bonds form between the two oxygen atoms because oxygen requires two shared electrons to fill its outermost shell. Nitrogen atoms will form three covalent bonds (also called triple covalent) between two atoms of nitrogen because each nitrogen atom needs three electrons to fill its outermost shell.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The half life is     H_{1/2}= 7333.3sec

Explanation:

   The half life of a first order  reaction is mathematically represented as

                          H_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{Rate Constant }

 Substituting   9.45 * 10^{-5}s^{-1}  for the rate constant

                         H_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{9.45*10^{-5}}

                                 H_{1/2}= 7333.3sec
