    From the periodic table:

    mass of iron = 55.8 grams

    mass of oxygen = 16 grams

    molar mass of Fe2O3 = 2 (55.8) + 3 (16) = 159.6 grams

    mass of iron in Fe2O3 = 2 (55.8) = 111.6 grams

    Mass percent of iron can be calculated by dividing the mass of iron by the mass of the compound and then multiplying the quotient by 100 to get the percentage.

    Based on this:

    mass % of iron = (111.6/159.6) * 100 = 69.92%
