Calculate the number of moles of Fe³⁺ ions, CO₃^2- ions, C atoms and O atoms contained in 6.0 mol of iron³⁺ and carbonate. Fe₂(CO₃)₃

This is my answer. Can someone please confirm as my text book doesn't contain answers for the question.
6.0 mol of Fe³⁺
18 mol of CO₃^2- ions
18 mol of C atoms
54 mol of O atoms

Thanks so much for your help in advance.

Something is wrong - you have to decide whether it is 6 moles of Fe³⁺ or 6 moles of iron (III) carbonate.

Thanks for you reply Borek, Have i done the question wrong? I am moving head of the class so i wont know how to do it until we are taught this in class

Could you please give me a heads up as to how to do it.

Regards.

Sorry, Its  6 moles of iron (III) carbonate.

[Borek]

Sorry, Its  6 moles of iron (III) carbonate.

So 6 moles of Fe³⁺ is wrong, but others were OK.

[fcb]

Ohh, I see where i went wrong. Is it 12 moles of Fe³⁺?

You're a legend Borek!

Yes.
