Solid iron metal reacts with oxygen gas to give iron (III) oxide according to the following unbalanced chemical equation: Fe (s) + O2 (g) ® Fe2O3 (s) If you react 42.88 g of iron with excess O2, how many grams of iron (III) oxide should form? I have balanced the equation and have 4 Fe + 3 O2 ==> 2Fe2O3
I also have calculated the molar mass of iron and oxygen..
Fe= 4 x 55.85 = 223.4 g/mol
O = 6 x 16.00 = 96 g/mol
total = 223.4 +96 = 314.4 g/mol

I then took the initial # provided in the equation and divided it by mass number of Fe (42.88 g/mol / 223.4 g/mol) multiplied by the coefficients 6mol O2 divided by coefficient of 4 mol Fe and finally divided by total molar mass of Fe2O3 319.4 g/mol.
I got a very big number (877.9g/mol Fe2O3) so I feel like I didn't solve it correctly, can someone check for me please?

Oxidation-reduction reactions (often called "redox" for short) are reactions that involve the transfer of electrons from one species to another. oxidation states, or oxidation numbers, allow chemists to keep track of these electron transfers. in general, one element will lose electrons (oxidation), with the result that it will increase in oxidation number, and another element will gain electrons (reduction), thereby decreasing in oxidation number. the species that is oxidized is called the reducing agent or reductant. the species that is reduced is called the oxidizing agent or oxidant. to sum up: oxidation = increase in oxidation state = loss of electrons = reducing agent reduction = decrease in oxidation state = gain of electrons = oxidizing agent part a which element is oxidized in this reaction? fe2o3+3co→2fe+3co2 enter the elemental symbol. view available hint(s) is oxidized part b which element is reduced in this reaction? 2hcl+2kmno4+3h2c2o4→6co2+2mno2+2kcl+4h2o enter the elemental symbol. view available hint(s) is reduced
