Jom is testing out a chemical process for the extraction of iron metal from ferric oxide. They performed the following 2-step reaction (excess Zn(s) is removed by adding acid): (MW: Fe=55.845 g/mol; O=15.999 g/mol) I. II. Nitric acid was added to ferric oxide to yield ferric nitrate Excess zinc dust was added to the ferric nitrate to yield metallic iron a. Write the balanced reactions from steps I and II, and identify the type of reaction for each step. If it is a redox reaction, identify the reducing and oxidizing agents. b. If Jom started out with 694 mg of ferric oxide, what would be his theoretical yield for iron metal (in grams)? c. Jom was able to extract 0.256 g of iron metal from his experiment in (b.). What is his percent yield? Jom is testing out a chemical process for the extraction of iron metal from ferric oxide.
