In the balanced reaction \( 3 \text{Mg} + 1 \text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 \rightarrow 3 \text{MgO} + 2 \text{Fe} \), you can see that for every 3 moles of magnesium (Mg), 2 moles of iron (Fe) are produced.
To find the ratio of moles of magnesium to moles of iron, we can express it as:
\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{moles of Mg}}{\text{moles of Fe}} = \frac{3}{2}
\]
So, the ratio of moles of Mg to moles of Fe is \( \frac{3}{2} \) or 1.5.
