Explanation / Answer

Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) ---> 2Fe(s) + 3CO2 (g)

In this reaction 1 mole of Fe2O3 reacts with 2 moles of CO and produces 2 moles of Fe and 3 moles of CO2.

Part A: no. of moles of Fe2O3 = mass/mol.wt
                              = 66 g/ 159.687 g/mol
                              = 0.4133 moles
       Therefore, theorical no. moles of Fe = no. of moles of Fe2O3 x 2
                                           = 0.4133 x 2
                                           = 0.8266 moles
                          
       No. of moles of Fe = = mass/mol.wt
                              = 15.6 g/ 55.845 g/mol
                              = 0.279 moles
       Percent of yield of Iron = (actual no. moles/theoretical no.of moles)100
                               = (0.279 moles/0.8266 moles )x100
                               = 33.75 %
                              
Part B:
No. of moles of CO = 75.3 g/ 28.010 g/mol
                   = 2.688 moles

Therefore, the theorical no. moles of CO2 = 2.688

Actual no. moles of CO2 = 88.9 g/ 44.009 g/mol

                       = 2.02 moles
Therefore, the percent of yield = (actual no. moles/theoretical no.of moles)x100
                               = (2.02 moles/2.688 moles)x100
                               = 75.71 %
