Answer:
102 g Al₂O₃
Explanation:
To find the mass of Al₂O₃, you need to (1) convert grams Al to moles Al (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles Al to moles Al₂O₃ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles Al₂O₃ to grams Al₂O₃ (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the ratios in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the given values.
Molar Mass (Al): 26.98 g/mol
Molar Mass (Al₂O₃): 101.96 g/mol
4 Al + 3 O₂ ---> 2 Al₂O₃
54.0 g Al 1 mole 2 moles Al₂O₃ 101.96 g
-------------- x ----------------- x ----------------------- x ---------------- = 102 g Al₂O₃
26.98 g 4 moles Al 1 mole
