The percent yield shows the extent to which the reactants are converetd into products . The limiting reactant is used up in the reaction.

What is a limiting reactant?

A limiting reactant is the reactant that is in the least amount in the system.  Now;

Number of moles of Fe =  12.21 g/56 g/mol = 0.22 moles

Number of moles of O2 = 13.54 g/32 g/mol = 0.42 moles

Balanced reaction equation;

3Fe(s) + 2 O2(g) = Fe3O4(s)

If 3 moles of Fe reacts with 2 mole of O2

0.22 moles of Fe reacts with  0.22 moles * 2 mole/3 moles = 0.15 moles

Hence, Fe is the limiting reactant

If 3 mole of Fe produces 1 mole of  Fe3O4(s)

 0.22 moles  of O2   produces   0.22 moles * 1 mole/3 moles of  Fe3O4(s) = 0.1073 moles

Mass of  Fe3O4(s) =0.1073 moles  * 232 g/mol =16.9 g

Number of moles of excess reactant = 0.42 moles - 0.15 moles = 0.27 moles

Mass of excess reactant = 0.27 moles * 32 g/mol = 8.64 g

percent yield = 15.88 g/16.9 g * 100/1

= 93.4%
