The reaction below is performed with 10.0 g of Al and 19.0 g of O2. How many grams of aluminum oxide will be made? 4 Al (s) + 3 O2 (g) → 2 Al2O3 (s)

18.89 g of Al₂O₃.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

4Al + 3O₂ —> 2Al₂O₃

Next, we shall determine the masses of Al and O₂ that reacted and the mass of Al₂O₃ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of Al = 27 g/mol

Mass of Al from the balanced equation = 4 × 27 = 108 g

Molar mass of O₂ = 16 × 2 = 32 g/mol

Mass of O₂ from the balanced = 3 × 32

= 96 g

Molar mass of Al₂O₃ = (27×2) + (16×3)

= 54 + 48

= 102 g/mol

Mass of Al₂O₃ from the balanced equation = 2 × 102 = 204 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

108 g of Al reacted with 96 g of O₂ to produce 204 g of Al₂O₃.

Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

108 g of Al reacted with 96 g of O₂.

Therefore, 10 g of Al will react with

= (10 × 96)/108 = 8.89 g of O₂.

From the calculation made above, we can see clearly that only 8.89 g out of 19 g of O₂ given, reacted completely with 10 g of Al.

Therefore, Al is the limiting reactant and O₂ is the excess reactant.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of aluminium oxide, Al₂O₃, produced from the reaction.

NOTE: in this case, the limiting reactant will be used because it will give the maximum mass of the aluminium oxide, Al₂O₃ as all of it is consumed in the reaction.

Al is the limiting reactant and the mass of aluminium oxide, Al₂O₃ produced can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

108 g of Al reacted to produce 204 g of Al₂O₃.

Therefore, 10 g of Al will react to produce = (10 × 204)/108 = 18.89 g of Al₂O₃.

Thus, 18.89 g of Al₂O₃ were obtained from the reaction.

the answer is the first option

explanation:

just googled it m8. not that hard

lol

the atomic number will stay the same no matter how many electrons it has, so it doesn’t decrease nor increase. it’ll only change with a different number of protons
