Some underwater welding is done via the thermite reaction, in which rust (Fe2O3) reacts with aluminum to produce iron and aluminum oxide (Al2O3). In one such reaction, 258 g of aluminum and excess rust produced 464 g of iron. What was the percent yield of the reaction?

 464 g = actual yield 

Fe2O3 + 2 Al --> Al2O3 + 2 Fe 

% yield = Actual/theoretical x 100

How many grams of PF5 can be formed from 9.46 g of PF3 and 9.42 g of XeF4 in the following reaction?

What is the limiting reagent of 

2PF3 + XeF4 ---> 2PF5 + Xe 

PF3 ⇒ 9.46 g / 87.968 g/mol = 0.10754 mol
XeF4 ⇒ 9.42 g / 207.282 g/mol = 0.045445 mol

2) Determine limiting reagent:

PF3 ⇒ 0.10754 / 2 = 0.05377
XeF4 ⇒ 0.045445 / 1 = 0.045445

XeF4 is limiting
