(b) If the mass of the iron nail increases to 24.1 g, what mass of oxygen combined with the iron?

On the planet Xgnu, the most common units of length are the blim (for long distances) and the kryll (for shorter distances). Because the Xgnuese have 14 fingers, perhaps it is not surprising that 1400 kryll = 1 blim. Two cities on Xgnu are 36.2 bum apart. What is this distance in kryll? The average Xgnuese is 170 kryll tall. What is this height in bums? This hook is presently being used at Xgnu University. The area of the cover of this book is 72.5 square krylls. What is its area in square bums?
