Aluminum Oxide is formed when aluminum combines with oxygen in the air. How many grams of Al2O3 are formed when 23.6g of Al reacts completely with oxygen?

Respuesta :

Oseni

The amount of [tex]Al_2O_3[/tex] that would be formed will be 44.59 grams

Stoichiometric calculation

From the equation of the reaction:

[tex]4Al + 3O_2 --- > 2Al_2O_3[/tex]

The mole ratio of Al to  [tex]Al_2O_3[/tex] is 2:1

Mole of 23.6 g Al = 23.6/26.98 = 0.87 moles

Equivalent mole of  [tex]Al_2O_3[/tex] = 0.87/2 = 0.44 moles

Mass of 0.44 mole  [tex]Al_2O_3[/tex] = 0.44 x 101.96 = 44.59 grams
