Mass : 846.268 g

Further explanation

The mole is the number of particles contained in a substance

1 mol = 6.02.10²³

Moles can also be determined from the amount of substance mass and its molar mass


\tt mol=(mass)/(MW)

mass of Al₂O₃ :

MW 101,96 g/mol

mass=mole x MW


\tt 8.3* 101.96=846.268~g
