The chemical equation below shows the formation of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) from aluminum (Al) and oxygen (O2). 4Al + 3O2 2Al2O3

The molar mass of O2 is 32.0 g/mol. What mass, in grams, of O2 must react to form 3.80 mol of Al2O3?
60.8
81.1
122
182

Mass = 182.4 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Al₂O₃ = 3.80 mol

Mass of oxygen required = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

4Al + 3O₂    →       2Al₂O₃

Now we will compare the moles of aluminum oxide and oxygen.

                Al₂O₃           :           O₂

                   2               :            3

                 3.80            :         3/2×3.80 = 5.7

Mass of oxygen:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 5.7 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass = 182.4 g

the atomic mass is the bottom number on the element.
