How many moles of "Al"Al are needed to form 3.73.7 moles of "Al"_2"O"_3Al2O3?

4"Al" + 3"O"_2 -> 2"Al"_2"O"_34Al+3O22Al2O3

1 Answer

"7.4 mol Al"7.4 mol Al

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for it is

4Al + 3O_2 -> 2Al_2O_3 4Al+3O22Al2O3

You have 3.73.7 moles of Al_2O_3Al2O3. When you balanced the equation, you got 22 moles of "Al_2O_3Al2O3 and 44 moles of AlAl, so

"4 mol AlAl gives 22 mol Al_2O_3Al2O3

After you cancel out the units of measurement to check the order of the conversion, multiply 3.73.7 with 44 and then divide the answer by 22. You get 7.47.4 moles of AlAl.
