Step 1
From the balanced equation 4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) -> 2Fe2O3(s), we can see that 4 moles of iron react to form 2 moles of iron(III) oxide. Show more…

Iron reacts with oxygen to give iron(III) oxide, $\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}$. (a) Write a balanced equation for this reaction. (b) If an ordinary iron nail (assumed to be pure iron) has a mass of $5.58 \mathrm{~g}$, what mass in grams of $\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}$ would be produced if the nail is converted completely to this oxide? (c) What mass of $\mathrm{O}_{2}$ (in grams) is required for the reaction?
