The reaction used to produce solid iron ore is below.

Fe2O3 (s) + 3CO (g) à 2Fe (s) + 3CO2 (g)

The reaction of Fe2O3 with CO has a theoretical yield of 129 grams solid Fe. In the laboratory, your reaction produces 87.4 grams of solid Fe. What is the percent yield?

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x100
(87.4 / 129) x100 = 67.75%
