  • Calculating Atoms in a Chemical Formula: 3 Fe2O3
    Here's how to break down the calculation:

    * Fe2O3: This represents one molecule of iron(III) oxide. It contains:

    * 2 iron (Fe) atoms

    * 3 oxygen (O) atoms

    * 3 Fe2O3: This means we have *three* of these molecules.

    Calculation:

    * Iron (Fe): 2 atoms/molecule * 3 molecules = 6 iron atoms

    * Oxygen (O): 3 atoms/molecule * 3 molecules = 9 oxygen atoms

    Total: 3 Fe2O3 contains 6 iron atoms and 9 oxygen atoms, for a total of 15 atoms.
