At the end of the summer, Jasmine harvests the corn from each section. She finds that the section given "fertilizer b" yielded the most corn; the section given "fertilizer a" yielded slightly less corn; and the section given "fertilizer c" yielded, by far, the least amount of corn. From this information, Jasmine concludes that "fertilizer b" is the best at increasing crop yields. Is Jasmine's conclusion scientifically valid? A. Yes, because "fertilizer b" increased her crop yield. B. No, because the crop yields were all equal. C. No, because the different sections of her land have different characteristics. D. No, because the different sections of her land were not equal in area.

first, consult an activity series chart to determine if al is more reactive than fe. it is, so it will replace the fe. now, one can continue with the problem.

next, make sure you have a correctly balanced equation.

3feo + 2al ==> 3fe + al2o3

now, determine which reactant (feo or al) is in limiting supply.

moles feo present = 125 g x 1 mole/71.8 g = 1.74 moles

moles al present = 25.0 g x 1 mole/26.98 g = 0.927 moles

since from the balanced equation, it take 3 mol feo for every 2 mol al, al will be limiting.

you can determine this simply by dividing moles of each by their coefficient in the balanced equation. for example: 1.74/3 = 0.58 and 0.927/2 = 0.464. al is less, so it is limiting.

finally, using the stoichiometry in the balanced eq. determine mass of fe that can be produced from 0.927 moles of al.

0.927 moles al x 3 moles fe/2 moles al x 55.8 g/mole = 77.6 g
