Answer:
In ferric oxide (Fe3O4), there are 3 atoms of iron (Fe) and 4 atoms of oxygen (O). From the Periodic Table of Elements, we know that the atomic mass of iron is 55.8457 and the atomic mass of oxygen is 15.9994.
Fe3 = 55.8457 × 3 = 167.5371
O4 = 15.9994 × 4 = 63.9976
167.5371 + 63.9976 = 231.5347 (231.535 rounded)
Therefore, the molecular mass of ferric oxide is 231.535.
