If a beaker is contained with the substances nickel sulfate, zinc sulfate and solid iron, there is a substance that will be reduced in the following substances that is in it. The substance that will be reduced as it is in the beaker is the Ni^2 + or also known as the Nickel (II)
<u>Given:</u>
Moles of Al = 0.4
Moles of O2 = 0.4
<u>To determine:</u>
Moles of Al2O3 produced
<u>Explanation:</u>
4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3
Based on the reaction stoichiometry:
4 moles of Al produces 2 moles of Al2O3
Therefore, 0.4 moles of Al will produce:
0.4 moles Al * 2 moles Al2O3/4 moles Al = 0.2 moles Al2O3
Similarly;
3 moles O2 produces 2 moles Al2O3
0.4 moles of O2 will yield: 0.4 *2/3 = 0.267 moles
Thus Al will be the limiting reactant.
Ans: Maximum moles of Al2O3 = 0.2 moles
The answer is 4 hope that help.
