The rusting of iron is represented by the equation 4Fe +3O2 --> 2Fe2O3. If you have a 1.50-mol sample of iron, how many moles of Fe2O3 will there be after the iron has rusted completely?

a. 0.50 mol
b. 0.75 mol
c. 1.0 mol
d. 1.50 mol
e. 2.0 mol

--> I got "b" using ratios..is that correct?

Look at the equation.
The equation tells us that 4 moles Fe will produce 1 moles of the oxide; therefore, 1.5 mol will produce 1/2 that or 0.75 mol which is answer b.
