For the following reaction, 3.76 grams of iron are mixed with excess oxygen gas . The reaction yields 4.29 grams of iron(II) oxide . iron ( s ) oxygen ( g ) iron(II) oxide ( s ) What is the theoretical yield of iron(II) oxide

4.84g of FeO is the theoretical yield

Explanation:

The Iron, Fe(s), reacts with oxygen, O₂(g), producing Iron (II) oxide, as follows:

2Fe(s) + O₂(g) → 2FeO

Theoretical yield is the yield of a reaction in which you assume the 100% of reactants is converted in products.

To find theoretical yield we need to find moles of Iron, and, knowing 2 moles of Fe produce 2 moles of FeO (Ratio 1:1), we can find theoretical yield of FeO as follows:

Moles Fe (Molar mass: 55.845g/mol)

Using the molar mass of the compound we can convert grams to moles, thus:

3.76g Fe × (1mol / 55.845g) = 0.0673 moles of Fe

Moles and mass of FeO

As there are in reaction 0.0673 moles Fe, assuming a theoretical yield (And as ratio of the reaction is 1:1), you will obtain 0.0673 moles of FeO.

Theoretical yield is given in grams, As molar mass of FeO is 71.844g/mol, theoretical yield of the reaction is:

0.0673 moles FeO × (71.844g / mol) =

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
