<span>This is called "The capture theory" which states that the Earth's Moon was captured by the gravitational pull of our planet, meaning that it formed elsewhere, and then was pulle dinto place by the Earth, already formed. This would rely upon the ideas that a asteroid pased close enough to the Earth's orbit to be "captured".</span>
Aluminum oxide produced : = 79.152 g
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
46.5g of Al
165.37g of MnO
Required
Aluminum oxide produced
Solution
Reaction
2 Al (s) + 3 MnO (s) → 3 Mn (s) + Al₂O₃ (s)
mol = mass : Ar
mol = 46.5 : 27
mol = 1.722
mol = 165.37 : 71
mol = 2.329
mol : coefficient ratio Al : MnO = 1.722/2 : 2.329/3 = 0.861 : 0.776
MnO as a limiting reactant(smaller ratio)
So mol Al₂O₃ based on MnO as a limiting reactant
From equation , mol Al₂O₃ :
= 1/3 x mol MnO
= 1/3 x 2.329
= 0.776
Mass Al₂O₃ (MW=102 g/mol) :
= 0.776 x 102
= 79.152 g
