The Octet rule is a general rule of thumb that applies to most atoms. Basically, it states that every atom wants to have eight valence electrons in its outermost electron shell.
(does this belong in chemistry?)

The amount of Al2O3 in moles= 1.11 moles while in grams = 113.22 grams
<em><u>calculation</u></em>
2 Al + Fe2O3 → 2Fe + Al2O3
step 1: find the moles of Al by use of <u><em>moles= mass/molar mass </em></u>formula
= 60.0/27= 2.22 moles
Step 2: use the mole ratio to determine the moles of Al2O3.
The mole ratio of Al : Al2O3 is 2: 1 therefore the moles of Al2O3= 2.22/2=1.11 moles
Step 3: finds the mass of Al2O3 by us of <u><em>mass= moles x molar mass</em></u><em> </em>formula.
The molar mass of Al2O3 = (2x27) +( 16 x3) = 102 g/mol
mass is therefore= 102 g/mol x 1.11= 113.22 grams
You can have as many controls as necessary, But they must remain equal at all times in order to get the most accurate results
