Answer:

6 x 10⁶ g Fe

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Set up dimensional analysis

7 x 10²⁸ atoms Fe (1 mol Fe/6.02 x 10²³ atoms Fe)(55.85 g Fe/1 mol Fe)

Step 2: Multiply, divide, and cancel out units

atoms Fe and atoms Fe cancel out.

mol Fe and mol Fe cancel out.

We should be left with g Fe.

7 x 10²⁸/6.02 x 10²³ = 116279 mol Fe

116279(55.85) = 6.49 x 10⁶ g Fe

Step 3: Sig figs

There is only 1 sig fig in this problem.

6.49 x 10⁶ g Fe ≈ 6 x 10⁶ g Fe
