Question
**The highly exothermic thermite reaction, in which aluminum reduces iron (III) oxide to elemental iron, has been used by railroad repair crews to weld rails together.**

\[2\text{Al}(s) + \text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3(s) \rightarrow 2\text{Fe}(s) + \text{Al}_2\text{O}_3(s)\]
\[ \Delta H_{rxn} = -850 \text{kJ} \]

**What mass of iron, in grams, is formed when 725 kJ of heat is released?**

Express your answer in decimal notation rounded to three significant figures.
