Answer #1

Actual yield of Fe = 22.7 g

Use:
% yield = actual yield * 100 / theoretical yield
93.2 = 22.7 * 100 / theoretical yield
theoretical yield = 24.36 g


Molar mass of Fe = 55.85 g/mol

mass of Fe = 24.36 g
mol of Fe = (mass)/(molar mass)
= 24.36/55.85
= 0.4362 mol


According to balanced equation
mol of Al required = moles of Fe
= 0.4362 mol


Molar mass of Al = 26.98 g/mol


mass of Al = number of mol * molar mass
= 0.4362*26.98
= 11.8 g
