Answer:

- Iron (III) oxide is the limiting reactant.

- m_{Al_2O_3}=319.9gAl_2O_3

- m_{Fe}=350.4gFe

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we consider the following reaction:

2Al + Fe_2O_3 \rightarrow Al_2O_3 +2Fe

Thus, for identifying the limiting reactant we should compute the available  moles of aluminium in 268 g:

n_{Al}=268gAl*\frac{1molAl}{26.98gAl} =9.93molAl

Next, we compute the moles of aluminium that are consumed by 501 grams of iron (III) oxide via their 2:1 molar ratio:

n_{Al}^{consumed}=501gFe_2O_3*\frac{1molFe_2O_3}{159.69gFe_2O_30}*\frac{2molAl}{1molFe_2O_3}=6.27molAl

Thus, we notice there are less consumed moles of aluminium than available, for that reason, it is in excess; therefore, the iron (III) oxide is the limiting reactant.

Moreover, the theoretical mass of aluminium oxide is:

m_{Al_2O_3}=6.27molAl*\frac{1molAl_2O_3}{2molAl} *\frac{101.96gAl_2O_3}{1molAl_2O_3} =319.9gAl_2O_3

And the theoretical mass of iron is:

m_{Fe}=6.27molAl*\frac{2molFe}{2molAl} *\frac{55.845 gFe}{1molFe} =350.4gFe

Best regards.

Which statement best describes why carbon can form a wide variety of organic compounds?
marishachu [46]
Carbon can form a wide variety of organic compounds because:

Each carbon atom covalently bonds with toms of carbon, hydrogen oxygen, and nitrogen

A carbon atom can have 4 single valence electrons around it. This allows it to form covalent bonds with many different atoms.
