Aluminum reacts with oxygen to produce aluminum oxide based on the BALANCED equation: 4 Al(s) + 3 O2(g) → 2 Al2O3(s) If 7.6 moles of Al react with excess O2, how many moles of Al2O3 can be formed?
Added by Beth G.
Step 1
From the balanced equation, we can see that 4 moles of aluminum react to form 2 moles of aluminum oxide. This means that the mole ratio between aluminum and aluminum oxide is 4:2, or simplified, 2:1. Show more…
