Over the years, the thermite reaction has been used to ignite solid fuel rocket motors. Fe2O3 (s) + 2Al(s)
2Fe() +
Al2O3 (s)
The reaction of 0.3150_mol of Iron (III) Oxide with 16.89 g of solid Aluminum produces 0.05412 lb of
Fe. Find the limiting reactant, theoretical yield (in g), and percent yield.
(14 pts)
(Fe = 55.845 g/mol Al = 26.9815 g/mol 0 = 15.9994 g/mol) (1 lb = 453.59 g)
