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).
