For the first question, you need to calculate the number of moles of Fe(C5H7O2)3 in the experiment. To do this, you need to know the mass of the compound in the experiment. Once you have the mass, you can use the following equation to calculate the number of moles:

Number of moles = Mass (g) / Molecular Weight (g/mol)

For the second question, you need to calculate the theoretical yield in grams of Fe(C5H7O2)3 for the experiment. To do this, you need to know the number of moles of the compound in the experiment. Once you have the number of moles, you can use the following equation to calculate the theoretical yield in grams:

Theoretical yield (g) = Number of moles x Molecular Weight (g/mol)
