Iron reacts with oxygen at high temperatures to form iron(III) oxide.


4Fe(s)+3O2(g)⟶2Fe2O3(s)


Suppose 24.0 g of iron (Fe) is reacted with 23.5 g of oxygen (O2).


Calculate the theoretical yield of iron(III) oxide ( Fe2O3 ).



The reaction produces 5.25 g of Fe2O3. What is the percent yield of the reaction?
