Strategy:
 In the reduction of Magnetite (), identify the limiting reagent based on the  molar ratio with Carbon Monoxide. Then use the stoichiometric yield of Iron ( from oxide).

Step 1: Calculate moles of reactants
- Moles of .
- Moles of .

Step 2: Identify Limiting Reagent
Ratio .
To react  of oxide, we need  of .
Since we have ,  is the limiting reagent.

Step 3: Calculate mass of Iron
1 mole of  produces 3 moles of Iron.
