CHEMISTRY | MOLE CONCEPT | Question 3


a) What mass of AL2O3 can be produced from the reaction of 10.00g of AL and 19.0g of O3?
b) How much of the excess reagent remains unreacted?


  • DATA GIVEN:


    Mass of Al = 10.00g
    Mass of O3 = 19.0g

    Asked:
    Mass of Al2O3 produced.
    Equation
    2Al + O3 → Al2O3

  • Mass of Al2O3 produced


    Mass = mass /molar mass
    = 10.00g /27g/mole
    = 0.37 mole
    Mole ratio = 0.37 mole /2 mole
    = 0.185 mole

    Mole of O3 = 19.0g /48g/mole
    = 0.3958mole
    Mole ratio for O3 = 0.3959 mole

    Limiting is Al, excess is O3

    Therefore, mole of Al2O3 produced
    2mole of Al Ξ 1 mole 0f Al2O3
    0.37 mole Ξ ??

    = 0.37 mole × 1 mole /2 mole
    = 0.1979 mole
    Mass = 0.1979 mole × 102g mole
    = 20.1858g

    20.1858g of Al2O3 was produced
  • Mass of O3 that remained.


    Mole equivalent between Al & O3
    2 mole Ξ 1 mole of O3
    0.37 mole Ξ ?? of O3

    = 0.37 mole × 1 mole /2 mole
    = 0.185 mole of O3
    Mass = 0.185 mole × 48g/mole
    = 8.88g reacted for O3
    Mass remain = 19.0g – 8.88g
    = 10.12g

    10,12g of excess reagent (03) was remained unreacted
