Antimony is obtained by heating pulverized stibnite (Sb2S3) with scrap iron and drawing off the molten antimony from the bottom of the reaction vessel:
Sb2S3+3Fe2Sb+3FeS
Suppose that 1.200kg of stibnite and 0.50kg of iron turnings are heated together to give 0.400kg of Sb metal. Determine
a. The limiting reactant
b. The percentage of excess reactant
c. The degree of completion (fraction)
d. The percent conversion based on the limiting Sb2S3
e. The yield in kilograms of Sb produced per kilogram of Sb2S3 fed to the reactor M.wt of Sb2S3=339.7,Fe=55.85,Sb=121.8,FeS=87.91
