Chemistry

Iron (III) oxide reacts with carbon monoxide to produce iron andcarbon dioxide:

Fe2O3 (s) + 3CO(g)  2Fe (s) + 3 CO2 (g)

54.4 g of Fe2O3and 24.7 g of CO react to produce iron.

Molar mass of Fe2O3 = 159.69 g/mol. Molar mass of CO = 28.01g/mol.

Determine the (a) limiting reactant, (b) theoretical yield, and(c) percent yield for the reaction if 29.1 g of iron areproduced.
