What is the total number of moles of aluminum oxide that can be formed when 54 grams of aluminum reacts completely with oxygen?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.0 mol

Explanation:

Let's consider the synthesis of aluminum oxide.

2 Al + 1.5 O₂ → Al₂O₃

The molar mass of Al is 27 g/mol. The moles represented by 54 g of Al are:

54 g × (1 mol/ 27 g) = 2.0 mol

The molar ratio of Al to Al₂O₃ is 2:1. The moles of Al₂O₃ are:

2.0 mol Al × (1 mol Al₂O₃/2 mol Al) = 1.0 mol

1.0 mol of Al₂O₃ is formed.

1 mol of aluminum oxide will be formed from 54 g of aluminum since the molar ratio of  [tex]\bold {Al }[/tex] and Aluminium oxide is 2:1.

What is the Mole concept?

A mole is a number of atoms, ions, or molecules as many as a number of atoms present in 12 g of Carbon 12.

The given chemical reaction is:

[tex]\bold {4Al + 3O_2 \rightarrow 2Al_2O_3}[/tex]

From the equation, the molar ratio of the [tex]\bold {Al }[/tex] and Aluminium oxide is 2:1. The molar mass of the Aluminium is 27 g/mol.

So,

[tex]n = \dfrac w m[/tex]

Where,

[tex]n[/tex] - number of moles

[tex]w[/tex] - mass  = 54 g/mol

[tex]m[/tex] - molar mass = 27 g /mol

So,

[tex]n = \dfrac {54 }{27}\\\\n = 2 \rm \ mol[/tex]

Since the molar ratio of  [tex]\bold {Al }[/tex] and Aluminium oxide is 2:1, 1 mol of aluminum oxide will be formed from 54 g of aluminum.
