1. \( \mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{OH})_{3} \), the product in today's reaction, is actually unstable in water, and decomposes to \( \mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3} \).
\[
2 \mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{OH})_{3} \rightarrow \mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}
\]
a. Would this decomposition reaction change the limiting reactant and excess reactant?
No the decomposition veaction doesn't ouneng the limiting or
original ferm
b. Using your data (mass of limiting reactant), what is the theoretical yield if all the product \( \mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{OH})_{3} \) decomposed to \( \mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3} \) ?
\[
\begin{array}{l}
F_{e}(\mathrm{OH})_{3}=106.87 \mathrm{~g} / \text { mol } \\
\mathrm{Fe}_{2} 03=159.70 \mathrm{~g} \text { gimol } \\
\text { Theovetical yide }=\text { moles of } \mathrm{Fe}_{2} 03 \times 159.7
\end{array}
\]
c. If the mass of your precipitate (Part I, blank \#6) is actually the mass of \( \mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3} \), what is your percent yield?
