Question

If 3.6 g of aluminum completely reacts, how much Al2O3 (in grams) can be produced

Answer 1

The amount in grams of  Al₂O₃ produced is approximately 6.80 g.

Aluminium reacts completely with oxygen(air) to produce Al₂O₃. The reaction can be represented with a chemical equation as follows:

AL + O₂ → Al₂O₃

Let's balance it

4AL + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

4 moles of Aluminium reacts with 3 moles of Oxygen molecules to produce 2 moles of Aluminium oxide. Therefore,

Since, aluminium reacts completely, it is the limiting reagent in the reaction. Therefore,

Atomic mass of AL = 27 g

Molar mass of  Al₂O₃ = 101.96 g/mol

4(27 g) of AL gives 2(101.96 g) of  Al₂O₃

3.6 g of AL will give ?

cross multiply

mass of  Al₂O₃ produced = 3.6 × 203.92 / 108   = 734.112 / 108 = 6.797

mass of  Al₂O₃ produced = 6.80 g.
