Question

How many moles of aluminum oxide will be formed from 17 moles of aluminum reaction?

Answer 1

Answer:

8.5 moles of Al₂O₃ will formed

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Al = 17 mol

Number of moles of Al₂O₃ formed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

4Al  +  3O₂     →     2Al₂O₃

Now we will compare the moles of Al₂O₃  with Al.

                  Al            :            Al₂O₃      

                   4            :              2

                   17           :            2/4×17 = 8.5 mol

8.5 moles of Al₂O₃ will formed.
