Either you need to change your wiper blades, or the blades are on incorrectly.
2Fe3O4 will give 3Fe2O3 [ continuity of iron atoms to each compound] molar mass Fe3O4 is 232 molar mass Fe2O3 is 160 The relationship tells you 160 x 3 480g Fe2O3 comes from 232 x 2 464g Fe3O4 now use simple proportion to get answer 11.8g Fe2O3 comes from 464/480 x 11.8g Fe3O4 answer
