Chemistry

Balance the following reaction.  

If we start with 34.1 g of diiodine pentoxide and react with 20.0 g of carbon monoxide, what is the theoretical yield of iodine and what is the limiting reagent?  

If 20.1 g of iodine is actually obtained, what is the % yield?  

What volume would the 20.0 g of carbon monoxide occupy at standard temperature and pressure?  carbon monoxide + diiodine pentoxide → iodine + carbon dioxide
