Answer: The mass of aluminium required is 1.38 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:


\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} .....(1)

Given mass of
Mn_3O_4 = 4.40 g

Molar mass of
Mn_3O_4 = 229 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:


\text{Moles of }Mn_3O_4=(4.40g)/(228.8g/mol)=0.0192mol

For the given chemical equation:


3Mn_3O_4+8Al\rightarrow 9Mn+4Al_2O_3

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of
Mn_3O_4 reacts with 8 moles of aluminium

So, 0.0192 moles of
Mn_3O_4 will react with =
(8)/(3)* 0.0192=0.0512mol of aluminium

Now, calculating the mass of aluminium by using equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

Moles of aluminium = 0.0512 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:


0.0512mol=\frac{\text{Mass of aluminium}}{27g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of aluminium}=(0.0512mol* 27g/mol)=1.38g

Hence, the mass of aluminium required is 1.38 grams.
