Question

Aluminum oxide (used as an adsorbent or a catalyst for organic reactions) forms when aluminum reacts with oxygen.


4Al(s) + 3O2(g) → 2Al2O3(s)


A mixture of 101.15 g of aluminum (ℳ= 26.98 g/mol) and 117.65 g of oxygen (ℳ = 32.00 g/mol) is allowed to react.

 

What is the limiting reactant?

What is the excess reactant?

What mass of aluminum oxide (ℳ = 101.96 g/mol) can be formed?
