Chapter 7: Problem 63

How many atoms of Fe are in the formula \(\mathrm{Fe}_{3} \mathrm{C} ?\) How many moles of Fe are in one mole of \(\mathrm{Fe}_{3} \mathrm{C}\) ?

Short Answer

Expert verified
There are 3 atoms of Fe in the formula \(Fe_{3}C\) and there are 3 moles of Fe in one mole of \(Fe_{3}C\).

Step by step solution

01

Interpreting the chemical formula

The subscript in the chemical formula \(Fe_{3}C\) indicates the number of atoms per element in the compound. Here, there are 3 Iron (Fe) atoms for every atom of Carbon (C). Therefore, there are 3 atoms of Fe in the formula \(Fe_{3}C\).
02

Number of moles of Fe in one mole of \(Fe_{3}C\)

By definition, one mole of a compound contains one mole of each distinct atom present in the compound. So, one mole of \(Fe_{3}C\) contains 3 moles of Iron (Fe).
