Given the formation of Al₂O₃ from a reaction between aluminum and oxygen, how many moles of the oxide can form using this reaction if 26.2 moles of Al metal react in an unlimited amount of oxygen?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced chemical equation for the formation of Al₂O₃ is 4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃. From this, 4 moles of Al produce 2 moles of Al₂O₃. Therefore, 26.2 moles of Al will produce (26.2/4) * 2 = 13.1 moles of Al₂O₃.
