If 200.0 g of Fe react fully with O2, what is the theoretical yield of Fe,O,? b. If the actual yield is 252.7 g, what is the percent yield?

Explanation / Answer

Balanced equation

4Fe(s) + 3O2(g)   ----------> 2Fe2O2(s)

4 mole 3 mole 2 mole

Molar mass (g/mole) 55.845 32.0 159.69

a.) From balanced equation we know that 4 mole of Fe yields 2 mole of rust which is half of the mole of Fe. So, the of rust produced by 3.2 mole of Fe is 3.2/2 = 1.6 mole.

b.) It is clear from balanced equation 4 mole of Fe will reacts with 3 mole of oxygen, so, 3 mole of oxygen will be consumed in the process of rusting.

c.) First we need to calculate the mole of rust

mole of rust = mass of rust/molar mass of rust = 100 g/159.69 g/mole = 0.6262 mole

From balanced equation we know that the mole of rust produced is half of the mole of Fe that means double mole of Fe will be consumed. So, the mole of Fe is 0.6262 × 2 = 1.253 mole.

Convert the mole into gram to get the mass of Fe

Mass of Fe = mole of Fe × Molar mass of Fe = 1.253 mole × 55.845 g/mol = 69.973 g

d.) First we need to calculate the mole of Fe

mole of Fe = Mass of Fe/molar mass of Fe = 50.0 g/55.845 g/mole = 0.895 mole.

From balanced equation we know that 4 mole of Fe will reacts with 3 mole of oxygen. So, 0.895 mole of Fe will reacts with 0.895 × 3/4 = 0.671 mole of oxygen.

Convert the mole into number of molecules

number of molecules = 0.671 mole × 6.023 × 1023 number of molecules/mole = 4.042 × 1023 molecules

2.

a.) Theoretical yield = Molar mass of rust/molar mass of Fe × Mass of Fe in g = 159.69/55.845 × 200 g = 571.90 g

b.) Percent yield = actual yield /Theoretical yield × 100 = 252.7 g / 571.9 × 100 = 44.186%
