=4.83gFe_3O_4=4.83gFe3O4

Explanation:

  1. Find the molar mass of the involved substances
    O_2=(32g)/(mol)O2=32gmol
    Fe_3O_4=(232g)/(mol)Fe3O4=232gmol
  2. Given the mO_2mO2, convert it to nO_2nO2 through molar conversion with the relationship provided in the molar mass of O_2O2.
    =2.00cancel(gO_2)xx(1molO_2)/(32cancel(gO_2))
    =0.0625molO_2
  3. Now, find the nFe_3O_4. Refer and use the balanced equation as provided for the mole ratio; i.e.,
    =0.0625cancel(molO_2)xx(1molFe_3O_4)/(3cancel(molO_2))
    =0.02083molFe_3O_4
  4. Finally, find the mFe_3O_4 through the relationship obtainable from the molar mass of the compound to convert mole to mass; thus,
    =0.02083cancel(molFe_3O_4)xx(232gFe_3O_4)/(1cancel(molFe_3O_4))
    =4.83gFe_3O_4
