How many milligrams are in 0.250 mmole Fe2O3 (ferric oxide). (A.wt O= 16

g/mole , Fe =56.85 g/mole)

1 answer

To find the number of milligrams in 0.250 mmole Fe2O3, we need to calculate the molar mass of Fe2O3 first.

The molar mass of Fe2O3 can be calculated as follows:
Fe: atomic weight = 56.85 g/mole
O: atomic weight = 16 g/mole x 3 (number of oxygen atoms in Fe2O3) = 48 g/mole

Adding the molar masses of Fe and O gives us:
56.85 g/mole (Fe) + 48 g/mole (O) = 104.85 g/mole

Now, we can calculate the number of milligrams in 0.250 mmole Fe2O3:
0.250 mmole x 104.85 g/mole x (1000 mg / g) = 26.21 mg

Therefore, there are approximately 26.21 milligrams in 0.250 mmole of Fe2O3.
