Question 1 [8 marks] Mining companies can obtain iron from iron ore by treatment with carbon monoxide as described in the equation below. Fe2O3 (s) + 3CO (g) 2Fe (s) + 3CO2 (1) For the case where 188 g of Fe2O3 is treated with 59.5 g of CO calculate the following: Determine the limiting reagent and show the calculations (including number of moles) leading to your conclusion. (i) [3 marks] What mass of solid iron (Fe) forms when the reaction goes to completion? [2 marks] What mass of the excess reagent remains when the maximum amount of solid iron has been formed? [2 marks] (ii) (iii) (iv) If 71.5 g of solid iron is recovered after the reaction, calculate the percentage yield of the iron. [1 mark]
