Question

Solid aluminum and oxygen gas combine in a synthesis reaction. 4.80mol of powdered aluminum is placed into a container with 3.00 mol of oxygen. How many grams of solid aluminum oxide will be formed? What is the excess reactant?

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

Moles of aluminium (Al) = 4.80 mol

Moles of Oxygen gas (O2) = 3.00 mol

Mass (in grams) of Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) formed = ?

Excess reactant = ?

Note: molar mass of Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) = (2×27 + 3×16) g/mol = 102 g/mol
