Fe2O3 + 2Al ---> Al2O3 + 2Fe
Mole ratio Fe2O3 : Al = 1:2
No. of moles of Fe2O3 = Mass/RMM = 250 / (55.8 * 2 + 16 * 3) = 1.56641604 moles
No. of moles of Al = 150/27 = 5.555555555 moles.
Mole ratio 1 : 2. 1.56641604 * 2 = 3.13283208 moles of Al, but you have 5.555555555 moles of Al. So Al is in excess. All of it won't react.
So take the Fe2O3 and Fe ratio to calculate the mass of iron metal that can be prepared.
RMM of Fe2O3 / Mass of Fe2O3 = RMM of 2Fe / Mass of Fe 159.6 / 250 = 111.6 / x x = 174.8 g of Fe
<u>Answer:</u> 3 neutrons are produced in the above nuclear reaction.
<u>Explanation:</u>
In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.
The nuclear reaction for the fission of Americium-244 isotope follows:

<u>To calculate Y:</u>
Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

Hence, 3 neutrons are produced in the above nuclear reaction.
