Answer:
Mass = 18.9 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of Al₂O₃ formed = ?
Mass of Al = 10.0 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃
Number of moles of Al:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 10.0 g/ 27 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.37 mol
Now we will compare the moles of Al and Al₂O₃.
Al : Al₂O₃
4 : 2
0.37 : 2/4×0.37 = 0.185 mol
Mass of Al₂O₃:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.185 mol × 101.9 g/mol
Mass = 18.9 g
