Strategy:
 Reaction: . Calculate the moles of reactants and identify the limiting reagent to determine the mass of Iron produced.

Step 1: Moles of reactants
- Moles Oxide .
- Moles .

Step 2: Identify Limiting Reagent
Ratio needed is .  of Oxide needs  .
Since we only have  , Carbon Monoxide is the limiting reagent.

Step 3: Calculate Iron yield
Ratio  is .
