Answer:

Aluminium + Dioxygen = Ruby

Reaction Type

Synthesis

Redox (Oxidation-Reduction) Reaction Beta

Al + O2 = Al2O3 might be a redox reaction.

Reactants

Aluminium - Al

13Al Aluminum Element 13

Dioxygen - O2

Lox O₂ Oxygen Oxygen Gas Liquid Oxygen Triplet Oxygen Diatomic Oxygen Molecular Oxygen O2 Bond Polarity

Products

Ruby - Al2O3

Al2O3 Molar Mass Al2O3 Oxidation Number

Exothermic or Endothermic?

Al(s) 4 mol 0 kJ/mol 0 kJ

O2(g) 3 mol 0 kJ/mol 0 kJ

Al2O3(s) 2 mol -1669.8 kJ/mol -3339.6 kJ

ΔH°rxn -3339.6 kJ

ΣΔH°f(reactants) > ΣΔH°f(products), so the reaction is exothermic.
