1 mol of Br = 79.9 g
15.7 g / 79.9 g = 0.196 moles of atoms
Your answer would be D, single replacement
We determine the limiting reactant by using the moles present in the equation and the actual moles.
According to equation, ratio of Fe₂O₃ : Al = 1 : 2
Actual moles of Fe₂O₃ = 187.3 / (56 x 2 + 16 x 3)
= 1.17
Actual moles of Al = 94.51 / 27
= 3.5
Fe₂O₃ is limiting. Fe₂O₃ required:
(moles Al)/2 = 3.5/2 = 1.75
Moles to be added = 1.75 - 1.17
= 0.58
Mass to be added = moles x Mr
= 0.58 x (56 x 2 + 16 x 3)
= 92.8 grams
Sedimentary rocks don't necessarily make fossils. Although when animals die on top of the rocks and are never moved, blown away, etc they can get trapped under the growing rock. Which is why fossils are often found in sedimentary rocks.
