The formula of Iron(III) oxide is Fe2O3
In order to calculate the mass of iron in a given sample of iron(III) oxide, we must first know the mass percentage of iron in iron(III) oxide. This is calculated by:
[mass of iron in one mole of iron(III) oxide/ mass of one mole of iron(III) oxide] * 100 
= [(moles of iron * Mr of iron) / (moles of Iron * Mr of Iron + moles of Oxygen * Mr of Oxygen)] * 100
= [(2 * 56) / (2 * 56 + 3 * 16)] * 100
= (112 / 160) * 100
= 70%
Thus, in a 100g sample, the weight of iron will be:
100 * 70%
= 70 grams

Find the natural abundance of Si-30.

<span> First you need to know how many isotopes there are of silicon, and its average atomic units (look at periodic table). Then make up a system of equations to solve for it. Theres 3 stable silicon isotopes (28, 29, 30) so you will need to have 3 equations. You must be given the percent abundance of at least one of the isotopes to solve because here I can only see 2 equations (numbered down below) set x = percent abundance of si-28 y = percent abundance of si-29 z = percent abundance of si-30 since all of silicon atoms account for 100% of all silicon: x + y + z = 100% = 1 therefore: 1) x = 1 - y - z You also have 2) 28x + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass you can substitute x so that equation becomes: 28 (1 - y - z) + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass See how you have 2 variables here? You cant go on until you know the value of one isotope already or you have given a clue which you can derive the third equation</span>
