If 14.6 g of iron(III) oxide (rust) is produced from a certain amount of iron, how many grams of oxygen are needed for this reaction?
Added by Mariah N.
Step 1
85 g/mol O: 16.00 g/mol (3 atoms) Molar mass of Fe2O3 = 2(Fe) + 3(O) = 2(55.85) + 3(16.00) = 159.69 g/mol Show more…

Fe+O2=Fe2O3 If 14.2 g of iron(III) oxide (rust) is produced from a certain amount of iron, how many grams of oxygen are needed for this reaction

What mass of iron (III) oxide is produced when 3.88 X 1025 grams of oxygen reacts with excess iron?
Ma Ednelyn L.
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?
