Fe2O3(s)+3CO(g)→2Fe(s)+3CO2(g)

The reaction mixture initially contains 22.55 g Fe2O3 and 14.78 g CO. Determine the limiting reactant and the theoretical yield of Iron.

1 answer

how many moles of each reactant?
Each mole of Fe2O3 takes 3 moles of CO2
which will be used up first?

the Fe yield will be twice the moles of Fe2O3 consumed.
Convert that to grams
