Answer: The mass of 1 mole of
Al_2O_3 is 101.96 amu.

Step-by-step explanation:


Al_2O_3 is a compound. One mole of a compound has a mass which is equal to the molecular weight (molar mass) of the compound expressed in 'amu' and it contains
6.022* 10{23} molecules of that compound.

To calculate the molar mass of the compound, we multiply the number of atoms of an element with its atomic mass. Molar mass of
Al_2O_3 will be:

Atomic mass of Aluminium = 26.98 amu

Number of atoms of Aluminium = 2

Atomic mass of Oxygen = 16.00 amu

Number of atoms of Oxygen = 3

Molecular weight of
Al_2O_3 =
[(2* 26.98)+(3* 16.00)] = 101.96 amu

Hence, the mass of 1 mole of
Al_2O_3 is 101.96 amu.
