Iron(II,III) oxide (Fe3O4) can be reduced with hydrogen gas to produce pure iron. The document provides calculations to determine: (1) the mass of iron produced from a 35.0g sample that is 43.8% pure Fe3O4, (2) the percentage purity of a 126.7g Fe3O4 sample that produces 39.3g of iron, and (3) the percentage yield when a 20.0g sample of pure Fe3O4 produces 5.98g of iron.

Iron(II,III) oxide is the chemical compound with formula
Fe3O4. It occurs in nature as the mineral magnetite. It can be reduced in the presence of hydrogen gas to produce pure iron.
Fe3O4 + 4H2 3Fe + 4H2O
