Question

How many moles of aluminum are needed to react completely with 1.2 mol of feo

Answer 1

Answer:

0.8 mol.

Explanation:

• The balanced equation for the reaction between Al and FeO is represented as:

2Al + 3FeO → 3Fe + Al₂O₃,

It is clear that 2 mol of Al react with 3 mol of FeO to produce 3 mol of Fe and 1 mol of Al₂O₃.

Using cross multiplication:

2 mol of Al needs → 3 mol of FeO, from stichiometry.

??? mol of Al needs → 1.2 mol of FeO.

∴ The no. of moles of Al are needed to react completely with 1.2 mol of FeO = (2 mol)(1.2 mol)/(3 mol) = 0.8 mol.
