Solid iron metal reacts with oxygen gas to give iron (III) oxide according to the following unbalanced chemical equation: Fe (s) + O2 (g) ® Fe2O3 (s) If you react 42.88 g of iron with excess O2, how many grams of iron (III) oxide should form? I have balanced the equation and have 4 Fe + 3 O2 ==> 2Fe2O3
I also have calculated the molar mass of iron and oxygen..
Fe= 4 x 55.85 = 223.4 g/mol
O = 6 x 16.00 = 96 g/mol
total = 223.4 +96 = 314.4 g/mol

I then took the initial # provided in the equation and divided it by mass number of Fe (42.88 g/mol / 223.4 g/mol) multiplied by the coefficients 6mol O2 divided by coefficient of 4 mol Fe and finally divided by total molar mass of Fe2O3 319.4 g/mol.
I got a very big number (877.9g/mol Fe2O3) so I feel like I didn't solve it correctly, can someone check for me please?

Read the claim. breakfast is an important meal. it jump starts the body’s process of using calories to break down food. appetite can decrease with age, but going too long without eating causes metabolism to slow down. current research shows that incorporating legumes such as lentils and chickpeas into meals boosts metabolism for twenty-four hours. who might benefit from this claim? people who have a fast metabolism stores that sell exercise equipment people who take vitamin supplements grocery stores that sell legumes
