14. Iron metal is used extensively in the manufacture of automobiles. It can be produced by the reaction between iron (III) oxide (iron ore) and carbon monoxide: Fe:O3 (s) + 3 CO (g) 2 Fe (s) + 3 CO2 (g) Calculate the percent yield of this reaction if 1.56 kg of iron ore and 945 g of carbon monoxide actually produce 488 g of iron metal.
