Answer:

8.70 liters

Explanation:

  • 3O₂+ 4Al → 2AI₂O₃

First we convert 36.12 g of AI₂O₃ into moles, using its molar mass:

  • 36.12 g ÷ 101.96 g/mol = 0.354 mol AI₂O₃

Then we convert AI₂O₃ moles into O₂ moles, using the stoichiometric coefficients of the reaction:

  • 0.354 mol AI₂O₃ * [tex]\frac{3molO_2}{2molAl_2O_3}[/tex] = 0.531 mol O₂

We can now use the PV=nRT equation to calculate the volume, V:

  • 1.4 atm * V = 0.531 mol * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 280.0 K
  • V = 8.708 L
