Well ask yourself why don't we count it in moles and you should get your answer.
Metal ore has other elements in it as well. Also sediment and stone might cover the ore. We don't want to have a phone with sediment on it do we? thus these few reasons are why.
C + O2= CO2
CO2 is limit
5.4-3.72= 1.68 g of C is excess
5.4 g = 100%
3.72 g = x
x=68.9 %
Answer:
5.625 moles of oxygen, O₂.
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:
4Al + 3O₂ —> 2Al₂O₃
From the balanced equation above,
4 moles of Al reacted with 3 moles of O₂.
Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of O₂ required to react with 7.5 moles of aluminum, Al. This can be obtained as illustrated below:
From the balanced equation above,
4 moles of Al reacted with 3 moles of O₂.
Therefore, 7.5 moles of Al will react with = (7.5 × 3)/4 = 5.625 moles of O₂.
Thus, 5.625 moles of O₂ is needed for the reaction.
