Answer:

1.4063 moles of oxygen are required

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the chemical equation:

4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

4 moles of aluminium react with 3 moles of oxygen.

To solve this question we need to convert the moles of aluminium to moles of oxygen using the chemical reaction:

1.875 moles Al * (3 moles O₂ / 4 moles Al) =

1.4063 moles of oxygen are required
