Answer: 31.8 g

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} Al_2O_3=\frac{60.0g}{102g/mol}=0.59moles

\text{Moles of} C=\frac{30.0g}{12g/mol}=2.5moles

Al_2O_3+3C\rightarrow 2Al+3CO  

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of Al_2O_3 require 3 moles of C

Thus 0.59 moles of Al_2O_3 will require=\frac{3}{1}\times 0.59=1.77moles  of C

Thus Al_2O_3 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and C is the excess reagent as it is present in more amount than required.

As 1 mole of Al_2O_3 give = 2 moles of Al

Thus 0.59 moles of Al_2O_3 give =\frac{2}{1}\times 0.59=1.18moles  of Al

Mass of Al=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=1.18moles\times 27g/mol=31.8g

Thus 31.8 g of Al will be produced from the given masses of both reactants.

How can you tell the number of covalent bonds an element can form?
Sergio039 [100]

The number of bonds for a neutral atom is equal to the number of electrons in the full valence shell (2 or 8 electrons) minus the number of valence electrons. This method works because each covalent bond that an atom forms adds another electron to an atoms valence shell without changing its charge.
