Question
The formula for rust can be represented by $\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}$ How many moles of Fe are present in $24.6 \mathrm{~g}$ of the compound?
Step 1
To do this, we'll find the molar mass of each element and then multiply by the number of atoms in the compound. The molar mass of Fe (iron) is approximately 55.85 g/mol, and the molar mass of O (oxygen) is approximately 16.00 g/mol. Now, we'll calculate the Show more…

Molar Mass
Iron reacts slowly with oxygen and water to form a compound commonly called rust $\left(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3} \cdot 4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right) .$ For 45.2 $\mathrm{kg}$ of rust, calculate (a) moles of compound; (b) moles of $\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3} ;(\mathrm{c})$ grams of $\mathrm{Fe} .$
