I believe that the answer is ionic
The amount of Al2O3 in moles= 1.11 moles while in grams = 113.22 grams
<em><u>calculation</u></em>
2 Al + Fe2O3 → 2Fe + Al2O3
step 1: find the moles of Al by use of <u><em>moles= mass/molar mass </em></u>formula
= 60.0/27= 2.22 moles
Step 2: use the mole ratio to determine the moles of Al2O3.
The mole ratio of Al : Al2O3 is 2: 1 therefore the moles of Al2O3= 2.22/2=1.11 moles
Step 3: finds the mass of Al2O3 by us of <u><em>mass= moles x molar mass</em></u><em> </em>formula.
The molar mass of Al2O3 = (2x27) +( 16 x3) = 102 g/mol
mass is therefore= 102 g/mol x 1.11= 113.22 grams
Some material from meteors lingers in the mesosphere, causing this layer to have a relatively high concentration of iron and other metal atoms. Very strange, high altitude clouds called "noctilucent clouds" or "polar mesospheric clouds" sometime form in the mesosphere near the poles.
I really hope this helps! I wish you the best of luck!
