Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

2.25 mol Fe

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Molar Mass of Fe - 55.85 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

1. Set up:
   `\displaystyle 2.25 \ mol \ Fe((55.85 \ g \ Fe)/(1 \ mol \ Fe))`
2. Multiply:
   `\displaystyle 125.663 \ g \ Fe`

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.

125.663 g Fe ≈ 126 g Fe
