Assume 1mol of Al2O3:

mm(Al) = 26.98g/mol

x2(moles needed in 1mol of Al2O3)

= 53.96g

~54g

mm(O) = 16.00g/mol

x3(moles needed in 1mol of Al2O3)

=48g

mm(Al2O3) = m(Al) + m(O)

= 102g/mol

x1mol

=102g (in 1 mol)

<em>What</em><em> </em><em>percent</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>total</em><em> </em><em>does</em><em> </em><em>X</em><em> </em><em>or</em><em> </em><em>Y</em><em> </em><em>take</em><em> </em><em>up</em><em>?</em>

Just take the portion that it gets and divide by the total:

Al: 54/102 = 53%

O: 48/102 = 47% or 100%-53%=47%

<em>Notice that, with binary compounds, you only need to calculate one of the two elements: the remaining amount HAS to be taken up by the other element, or else there would be something else involved.</em>

What is the solution to the problem to the correct number of significant figures (102,900/12)+(170•1.27)
GarryVolchara [31]

As per as the Multiplication rules of the significant figures, whenever any numbers in the decimals forms are multiplied or divided then result in mentioned in such a way so that the significant figures after the decimal will be same as that in the given least condition.


_______________________________


102900/12 = 8575


170 × 1.27 = 215.9


∴ (102,900 ÷ 12) + (170 × 1.27) =  8575 + 215.9


= 8790.9


Now, As per as Above rules, answer in correct significant figures will be = 8791.
