A. Moles of Aluminum needed;

Reaction is as follow,

Fe₂O₃ + 2 Al → 2 Fe + Al₂O₃
According to eq,

1 mole Fe
₂O₃ required = 2 mole of Al
So,
3.30 mol Fe₂O₃ will require = X moles of Al

Solving for X,
X = (2 mol × 3.30 mol) ÷ 1 mol

X = 6.6 mol of Al

B. Moles of Iron formed:

According to eq,

1 mole Fe₂O₃ produced = 2 mole of Fe
So,
3.30 mol Fe₂O₃ will produce = X moles of Fe

Solving for X,
X = (2 mol × 3.30 mol) ÷ 1 mol

X = 6.6 mol of Fe

C. Moles of Aluminum Oxide formed:

According to eq,

1 mole Fe₂O₃ produced = 1 mole of Al₂O₃
So,
3.30 mol Fe₂O₃ will produce = X moles of Al₂O₃

Solving for X,
X = (1 mol × 3.30 mol) ÷ 1 mol

X = 3.30 mol of Al₂O₃
