Aluminum can form clusters that behave similarly to certain atoms.The "superatom," Al₁₃, is thought to mimic chlorine.Suppose you create a process that generates KAl ₁₃ (389.86 g/mol) and oxygen gas from aluminum oxide (101.96 g/mol) and potassium metal.How many grams of KAl₁₃ could be produced by the reaction of 102 g of Al₂O₃? You will need to write a balanced chemical reaction.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced chemical equation is: 2 Al2O3 + 9 K → 3 KAl13 + 3 O2. From 102 g of Al2O3, you can produce 60.0 g of KAl13.
