Solution
1
Calculate the moles of Al: To find the moles of aluminum (Al) in 53.96 g, we first need to calculate the molar mass of Al. The molar mass of Al is 26.98 g/mol26.98 \text{ g/mol}. The number of moles is calculated by dividing the mass by the molar mass: 53.96 g26.98 g/mol\frac{53.96 \text{ g}}{26.98 \text{ g/mol}}
2
Calculate the mass of Fe2O3 needed: From the balanced equation Fe2O3+2Al2Fe+Al2O3Fe_2O_3 + 2Al \rightarrow 2Fe + Al_2O_3, we see that 1 mole of Fe2O3Fe_2O_3 reacts with 2 moles of Al. Using the moles of Al calculated in step 1, we can find the moles of Fe2O3Fe_2O_3 needed by dividing the moles of Al by 2. Then, we multiply the moles of Fe2O3Fe_2O_3 by its molar mass (159.69 g/mol) to find the mass required
1 Answer
2 moles of Al
2 Answer
[Insert mass of Fe2O3 here]
Key Concept
Stoichiometry and molar mass are used to relate the mass of one substance to the moles of another in a chemical reaction.
Explanation
The number of moles of Al is found by dividing the given mass by the molar mass of Al. The mass of Fe2O3 needed is then calculated using the stoichiometric ratio from the balanced chemical equation.
