How many grams of Fe2O3 are formed when 16.7g of Fe reacts completely with oxygen?

The rusting of iron has the reaction 4 Fe + 3 O2 equals 2 Fe2O3. So every 2 moles of iron produces 1 moles of iron oxide. 16.7 grams is .299 moles of iron. This means there are 0.149 moles of iron oxide or 23.88 grams.

∙ 11y agoTell you what - the more likely scenario is that iron reacts with oxygen to form 6.2g of Fe2O3. That's the rusting of iron; I don't know if you can "un-rust" iron back into pure iron and oxygen. So we'll go with this equation:
4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3.
Iron (Fe) is our unknown. Okay, Fe2O3, which is iron(III) oxide, has a given mass of 6.2g, and according to the Periodic Table, it's molar mass, or grams per 1 mole, is 160g/mol (56+56+16+16+16). Do a 1-step molar conversion to get about 0.03875 moles. Apply this to the molar ratio of coefficients in the balanced equation: the ratio is 2:4, or 1:2, so you will double that to 0.0775 moles of iron. Now do a 1-step molar conversion with iron's Atomic Mass to get your grams of iron: 0.0775 moles x 56 grams per mole = 4.34 grams Fe.

Iron III oxide is formed when iron combines with oxygen in the air How many grams of Fe2O3 are formed when 16.7 g of Fe reacts completely with oxygen?
23.95g
When iron reacts with oxygen to form rust each iron does what?
When iron reactions with oxygen to form rust, the iron atoms, Fe reacts with the oxygen atoms, O2 to create iron (III) oxide, Fe2O3.4Fe + 3O2 -----> 2Fe2O3Or2Fe + 3/2O2 -----> Fe2O3
What happen when iron is exposed to air?
If an iron nail is exposed to air for a long time it reacts with the water vapour (moisture) and oxygen present in the atmosphere and a reddish-brown powdery coating is formed on it known as RUST (Fe2O3.xH2O) .
What elements do Fe2O3 contain?
Fe2O3 contains the elements Iron and Oxygen. It would have 2 Iron and 3 oxygen.
How many number of atoms of oxygen are in Fe2O3?
The oxide Fe2O3 has 3 oxygen atoms in the molecule.
Iron III oxide is formed when iron combines with oxygen in the air How many grams of Fe2O3 are formed when 16.7 g of Fe reacts completely with oxygen?
23.95g
When iron reacts with oxygen is the oxide that is formed an acid or a base And how do we get this element?
Fe2O3 It is neither an acid or a base, and it is a compound, not an element
When iron reacts with oxygen does it gain or lose electrons?
Iron reacts with oxygen to form Fe2O3 also known as rust. Oxygen requires two electrons to fill it's valence shell so iron loses electrons.
Balance the equation fes2 o2 --- fe2o3 so2 and name the reaction?
Pyrite (fools gold) reacts with Oxygen to make Hematite (Fe2O3) and Sulpher dioxide (SO2) The reaction is oxidation of pyrite. 2FeS2 + 3.5O2 - - Fe2O3 + 2SO2

What is the chemical equation when metallic iron reacts with water?
Iron does not react with pure water. Dissolved oxygen reacts with iron. Rust is a complex mixture of iron oxides, and hydroxide and hydrated oxides. See the link for a reasonably detailed explanation.
How many atoms of oxygen are present in Fe203?
in one molecule of Fe2O3 there would be 3 oxygen atoms
What is the chemical equation for iron metal reacts with oxygen gas in the air to form solid iron oxide?
The chemical equation is:4 Fe + 3 O2 = 2 Fe2O3
What is formed when iron combines with oxygen in the air?
Iron reacting with oxygen produces rust, Fe2O3 (Iron (III) oxide) or FeO2 (Iron (II) oxide) depending on the composition of the iron.
