Well 

 my brain has decided to go on vacation
Give me the answers and working out
		
 
		
	 
No worries! Let's work through the stoichiometry question together:
**Given:**
- Iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) = 200 grams
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) = 130 grams
**Molar Mass:**
- Fe2O3 = 2*(55.85 g/mol) + 3*(16.00 g/mol) = 159.7 g/mol
- CO = 12.01 g/mol + 15.999 g/mol = 28.01 g/mol
**Calculations:**
**a) The limiting reactant:**
1. Calculate the moles of Fe2O3:
\[ \text{Moles of Fe2O3} = \frac{200 \text{ g}}{159.7 \text{ g/mol}} \approx 1.25 \text{ mol} \]
2. Calculate the moles of CO:
\[ \text{Moles of CO} = \frac{130 \text{ g}}{28.01 \text{ g/mol}} \approx 4.64 \text{ mol} \]
3. Determine the limiting reactant by comparing the mole ratios from the balanced equation:
\[ \frac{\text{Moles of Fe2O3}}{1} = \frac{\text{Moles of CO}}{3} \]
Since Fe2O3:CO ratio is 1:3, CO is the limiting reactant in this case.
**b) The theoretical yield of iron (Fe) in grams:**
1. Calculate the theoretical yield of Fe (using the limiting reactant - CO):
From the balanced equation, 3 moles of CO produce 2 moles of Fe.
\[ \text{Moles of Fe} = \frac{4.64 \text{ mol CO} \times 2 \text{ mol Fe}}{3 \text{ mol CO}} \approx 3.09 \text{ mol Fe} \]
2. Calculate the theoretical yield in grams:
\[ \text{Theoretical yield of Fe} = 3.09 \text{ mol Fe} \times 55.85 \text{ g/mol} \approx 172.8 \text{ g Fe} \]
**c) The percentage yield of iron if the actual yield obtained is 145 grams:**
1. Calculate the percentage yield:
\[ \text{Percentage Yield} = \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}} \times 100\% \]
\[ \text{Percentage Yield} = \frac{145 \text{ g}}{172.8 \text{ g}} \times 100\% \approx 83.9\% \]
Therefore:
a) The limiting reactant is CO
b) The theoretical yield of iron (Fe) is approximately 172.8 grams
c) The percentage yield of iron is approximately 83.9%
I hope this helps! If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask.
