How many moles of Al will be consumed when 0.400 mol of Al2O3 are produced in
1 answer:
Answer:
C) 0.800 mol
Explanation:
- 4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃
In order to <u>convert from moles of Al₂O₃ into moles of Al</u>, we'll need to use<em> the stoichiometric coefficients</em>, using a conversion factor that has Al₂O₃ moles in the denominator and Al moles in the numerator:
- 0.400 mol Al₂O₃ *
= 0.800 mol Al
So the correct answer is option C).

Explanation:
If we want to convert from grams to moles, the molar mass is used. This is the mass of 1 mole. They are found on the Periodic Table as the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole (g/mol) instead of atomic mass units (amu).
Look up the molar mass of carbon.
- Carbon (C): 12.011 g/mol
Set up a ratio using the molar mass.
Since we are converting 3.06 grams to moles, we multiply by that value.
Flip the ratio. This way, the ratio is still equivalent, but the units of grams of carbon cancel.
The original measurement of grams (3.06) has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the thousandth place.
- 0.25476646
The 7 in the ten-thousandth place tells us to round the 4 up to a 5.
3.06 grams of carbon is approximately <u>0.255 moles of carbon.</u>
