Problem 2-12 marks Antimony is obtained by heating pulverized stibnite (Sb_2S_3) with scrap iron and drawing off the molten antimony from the bottom of the reaction vessel.
Sb_2S_3+3 Fe->2 Sb+3 FeS
Suppose that 0.6kg of stibnite and 0.25kg of iron turnings are heated together to give 0.2kg of Sb metal. Determine: a) The limiting reactant. b) The percentage of excess reactant. c) The degree of completion (fraction). d) The percent conversion based on Sb_2S_3. e) The yield in kgSb produced per kgSb_2S_3 fed to the reactor.
