    Hematite is iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3). So get the molecular weight of iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3), and divide 510 gm by that number. That will give you the moles of hematite. Multiply the number of moles by the atomic weight of carbon and you're done.

    2 Fe2O3(s) + 3 C(s) -----------> 3 CO2(g) + 4 Fe(s)

    320 g 36.0 g

    ? g C = 510 g Fe2O3 x 36.0 g C/ 320 g Fe2O3 = 57.4 g C
