Answer:
5444.89 grams of Fe
Explanation:
1) We need the chemical equation for Fe3O4 to find the mole ratio for Fe to Fe3O4. Chemical equation:
3Fe+4H2O → Fe3O4+4H2
The mole ratio of Fe to Fe3O4 is 3:1
2) Now, we find how many grams of Fe are needed to produce 32.5 moles of Fe3O4.
[tex]32.5 moles Fe3O4[/tex][tex]x \frac{4 mole O}{1 mole Fe3O4}[/tex] = 97.5 moles Fe needed to produce 32.5 moles of Fe3O4
3) Convert 97.5 moles of Fe into grams. The molar mass of Fe is 55.845g.
[tex]97.5 mole Fe[/tex][tex]x\frac{55.845g Fe}{1 mole Fe}[/tex] = 5444.8875g or 5444.89g.
