gollark: The answer is just (3/4)*11 then, which is 8.25.
gollark: Oh, FeS2, not Fe2O3.
gollark: <@288035900980461579> Could you photograph the question or something? It does definitely look like you need 16.5 moles O2 for 3 moles Fe2O3, so the question is probably asking something else?
gollark: 2Fe2O3 is 2 moles Fe2O3, 11O2 is 11 moles O2.
gollark: The important part is how many O2s per Fe2O3 you need.
