Explanation:
- Find the molar mass of the involved substances
O_2=(32g)/(mol)O2=32gmol
Fe_3O_4=(232g)/(mol)Fe3O4=232gmol - Given the
mO_2mO2 , convert it tonO_2nO2 through molar conversion with the relationship provided in the molar mass ofO_2O2 .
=2.00cancel(gO_2)xx(1molO_2)/(32cancel(gO_2))
=0.0625molO_2 - 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 - 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
