Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 102 grams of Al₂O₃ are formed when 48 grams of O₂ react.
In first place, the balanced reaction is:
4 Al + 3 O₂ → 2 Al₂O₃
By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:
The molar mass of the compounds is:
Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:
The following rule of three can be applied: if by reaction stoichiometry 96 grams of O₂ form 204 grams of Al₂O₃, 48 grams of O₂ form how much mass of Al₂O₃?
[tex]mass of Al_{2} O_{3} =\frac{48 grams of O_{2} x204 grams of Al_{2} O_{3}}{96 grams of O_{2}}[/tex]
mass of Al₂O₃= 102 grams
Finally, 102 grams of Al₂O₃ are formed when 48 grams of O₂ react.
