You can use mole ratios and molar mass to determine the masses of substances involved in a chemical reaction. Using the periodic table, calculate the molar masses of iron oxide (Fe2O3) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3). Give your answer to four significant figures.

Respuesta :

Answer : Molar mass of the [tex]Fe_2O_3[/tex] is 159.7 g/mol.

Molar mass of the [tex]Al_2O_3[/tex] is 101.96 g/mol.

Explanation:

Molar mass of [tex]Fe_2O_3[/tex]:

[tex]\text{Atomic mass of Fe}\times 2+\text{Atomic mass of O}\times 3[/tex]

Molar mass = [tex]55.85 g/mol\times 2+16.00 g/mol\times 3=159.7 g/mol[/tex]

Molar mass of the [tex]Fe_2O_3[/tex] is 159.7 g/mol

Molar mass of [tex]Al_2O_3[/tex]:

[tex]\text{Atomic mass of Al}\times 2+\text{Atomic mass of O}\times 3[/tex]

Molar mass = [tex]26.98 g/mol\times 2+16.00 g/mol\times 3=101.96 g/mol[/tex]

Molar mass of the [tex]Al_2O_3[/tex] is 101.96 g/mol

Oseni

The molar mass of Fe2O3 and Al2O3  is 160.0 g/mol and 102.0 g/mol respectively.

Molar mass

The molar mass of a compound is the addition of the molar weights of the individual atoms that make up the compound.

In this case, the molar weight of Fe is 56, O is 16, and Al is 27 g/mol respectively.

Fe2O3 = (56x2) + (16x3)

              = 160.0 g/mol

Al2O3 = (27x2) + (16x3)

            = 102.0 g/mol
