In order to obtain metal from its oxide ...

In order to obtain metal from its oxide through Blast furnace process, the following reactions are involved.
`Fe_(2)O_(3)+CO to Fe_(3)O_(4)+CO_(2)`
`Fe_(3)O_(4)+CO to Fe+CO_(2)`
`FeO+CO to Fe+CO_(2)`
If the % yield of the first, second and third reactions are 80% and 60% ,50% respectively then calculate mass of iron (in gm) which will be obtained if 16g of `Fe_(2)O_(3)` is reacted with excess of CO.

Text Solution
