    1 mole

    Explanation:

    m (Fe) = 112 g

    n (Fe₂O₃) = ?

    First you must calculate how many moles of Fe is in 112 g of Fe:

    n (Fe) = m (Fe) / Ar (Fe) = 112 g / 55,85 g moles⁻¹ = 2 moles

    Now, from reaction you compare moles of Fe and Fe₂O₃:

    2 n (Fe₂O₃) = n (Fe)

    n (Fe₂O₃) = n (Fe) / 2 = 1 mole
