Question

Calculate the number of moles of Al 2

O3
that are produced when 0.60 mol of Fe is produced in the following

reaction.
2Al(s) + 3FeO(s)  3Fe(s) + Al2
O3
(s)

Answer 1

The number of moles of Al₂ O₃ : 0.2

Further explanation

The reaction equation is the chemical formula of reagents and product substances

A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products

Reaction

2Al(s) + 3FeO(s) ⇒ 3Fe(s) + Al₂ O₃(s)

0.6 mol of Fe = 0.6 mol of FeO

mol of Al₂ O₃ : mol of FeO = 1 : 3

`\tt (1)/(3)* 0.6=0.2`
