Answer:
84.24 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of oxygen = 75 g
Mass of Al required to react = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃
Number of moles of oxygen:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 75 g/ 32 g/mol
Number of moles = 2.34 mol
Now we will compare the moles of oxygen with Al.
O₂ : Al
3 : 4
2.34 : 4/3×2.34 = 3.12 mol
Mass of Al required:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 3.12 mol × 27 g/mol
Mass = 84.24 g
