Chapter 8, Problem 52QP

(choose chapter or problem)

Titanium(IV) oxide \(\left(\mathrm{TiO}_2\right)\) is a white substance produced by the action of sulfuric acid on the mineral ilmenite \(\left(\mathrm{FeTiO}_3\right)\) :

\(\mathrm{FeTiO}_3+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 \longrightarrow \mathrm{TiO}_2+\mathrm{FeSO}_4+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)

Its opaque and nontoxic properties make it suitable as a pigment in plastics and paints. In one process, \(8.00 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~kg}\) of \(\mathrm{FeTiO}_3\) yielded \(3.67 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~kg}\) of \(\mathrm{TiO}_2\). What is the percent yield of the reaction?
