Blast furnaces extra pure iron from the iron(III) oxide in iron ore in a two step sequence. In the first step, carbon and oxygen react to form carbon monoxide:

2C(s)+O2(g)--->2CO(g)

In the second step, iron(III) oxide and carbon monoxide react to form iron and carbon dioxide:

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

Suppose the yield of the first step is 65.% and the yield of the second step is 94.%. Calculate the mass of oxygen required to make 6.0kg of iron.

Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if needed, and is rounded to 2 significant digits.
