Answer

The answer is $111.6$ moles of Oxygen.

Work Step by Step

We can figure this out using simple mole ratios. According to the formula $Fe(NO_{3})_{3}$, 1 mole of $Fe(NO_{3})_{3}$ contains nine moles of oxygen (O) because the "3" outside the brackets is distributed to all of the terms inside the bracket and $3 \times 3=9$. So, 12.4 moles of $Fe(NO_{3})_{3}$ contains $111.6$ moles of O. $12.4 moles\times 9 = 111.6 moles$
