Solution
The correct option is C87.5% 2Fe(NO3)32.5mole+3Na2CO33.6mole→Fe2(CO3)3+6NaNO36.3mole To find limiting reagent for Fe(NO3)3=2.52=1.25 for Na2CO3=3.63=1.2 Here the limiting reagent is Na2CO3, so NaNO3 formed (theoretically) will be 3.6molofNa2CO3×6molofNaNO33molofNa2CO3=7.2molofNaNO3 Percentageyield=Actualyieldtheoreticalyield×100=6.37.2×100=87.5%
