Theoretical yield of Al₂O₃: 1.50 mol.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

2 \; \text{Al} + \dfrac{3}{2} \; \text{O}_2 \to {\bf 1} \; \text{Al}_2\text{O}_3;

4 \; \text{Al} + 3 \; \text{O}_2 \to 2 \; \text{Al}_2\text{O}_3 \; \textit{Balanced}.

How many moles of aluminum oxide formula units will be produced <em>if</em> aluminum is the limiting reactant?

Aluminum reacts to aluminum oxide at a two-to-one ratio.

3.00 \times \dfrac{1}{2} = 1.50 \; \text{mol}.

As a result, 3.00 moles of aluminum will give rise to 1.50 moles of aluminum oxide.

How many moles of aluminum oxide formula units will be produced <em>if</em> oxygen is the limiting reactant?

Oxygen reacts to produce aluminum oxide at a three-to-two ratio.

2.55 \times \dfrac{2}{3} = 1.70 \; \text{mol}

As a result, 2.55 moles of oxygen will give rise to 1.70 moles of aluminum oxide.

How many moles of aluminum oxide formula units will be produced?

Aluminum is the limiting reactant. Only 1.50 moles of aluminum oxide formula units will be produced. 1.70 moles isn't feasible since aluminum would run out by the time 1.50 moles was produced.

Since there are no choices given, my answer might not be what you're looking for. But it can definitely be a correct answer. The technique is called filtration. Filtration is a physical separation to separate the liquid and solid in a mixture. The mixture should be composed of an insoluble solid in a solvent. The mixture is usually passed through a semi-permeable barrier. In this case, a special piece of paper is used. The solvent is the liquid and the solid is the coffee bean grounds. Only the liquid can pass through the paper. The liquid that passes through the paper is generally called a filtrate.

kiruha [24]
Relative dating is the process of determining whether an object or event is older or younger than other objects or events. Absolute dating is d<span>etermining the age of an event or object in years. From absolute dating, the real age of the object is obtained which is not present for relative dating. Hope this helps.</span>
