3.After drying and cooling your crucible, you determine that it has a mass of 20.633 grams. You place a sample of iron in the crucible. The overall mass of the crucible and iron is 27.396 grams. You burn the iron sample in the crucible. Assuming that the combustion of iron metal results in the formation of FeO, what is the combined mass of the crucible and the combustion product in grams?

Stoichiometry?

The Attempt at a Solution

I'm pretty lost with these problems, i do not know how to reason with them.

Well ... how many hydrogens do you need for each oxygen to get water?
If I had oxygen and hydrogen in solution (with something, somehow), at the same molar concentrations, how many drops of hydrogen solution do I need for each drop of oxygen?
How would you write down the equation for that chemical reaction?

Remember that there is always a slight amount of experimental error in any measurement.

This is the lynchpin - what does it mean?
