Answer:
The answer to your question is 7.4 moles of Aluminum
Explanation:
Data
moles of Al = ?
moles of Al₂O₃ = 3.7
Balanced chemical reaction
4 Al + 3 O₂ ⇒ 2 Al₂O₃
To solve this problem use proportions and cross multiplication. Use the coefficients of the balanced chemical equation.
4 moles of Aluminum ----------------- 2 moles of Al₂O₃
x ----------------- 3.7 moles of Al₂O₃
x = (3.7 x 4) / 2
x = 14.8 / 2
x = 7.4 moles of Aluminum
