What is the formula mass of FeO3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you show me how to do it with all your work make sure it is the correct unit labels please! thank you

OpenStudy (nottim):

What's a formula mass?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

55.847 (mass of Fe) + 3(15.999) (mass of 3 oxygen's) = 103.844 g

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait thats the formula of it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is how you find the formula mass.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is one Iron, Fe, and 3 Oxygen, O. So you add the Fe, 55.847 + 3*15.999, which is the mass of oxygen. the mass of oxygen is 15.999 but since there are 3 of them you have to multiply 3 and 15.999 and add that to 55.847 to get the total mass which is 103.844 g.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

To find the mass of the formula, you look at the periodic table Fe = ______ g O = 3( ______)g you mutiply by three b/ there are 3 oxygens. You then proceed to add evrything to get the mass.

OpenStudy (nottim):

Do it steps @Tttaammmaannnaa

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the mass os 103.844 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since there is one Iron, Fe. the mass is 55.487. The mass of 3 oxygen's is 47.997. Add 55.487 and 47.997 and you get 103.844

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the mass of Fe is 55.847. sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 103.844

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you so much that helped a lot thank you again!
