How much aluminum oxide are produced when 46.5g of Al react with 165.37g of MnO?

Aluminum oxide produced : = 79.152 g

Given

46.5g of Al

165.37g of MnO

Required

Aluminum oxide produced

Solution

Reaction

2 Al (s) + 3 MnO (s) → 3 Mn (s) + Al₂O₃ (s)

mol = mass : Ar

mol = 46.5 : 27

mol = 1.722

mol = 165.37 : 71

mol = 2.329

mol : coefficient ratio Al : MnO = 1.722/2 : 2.329/3 = 0.861 : 0.776

MnO as a limiting reactant(smaller ratio)

So mol Al₂O₃ based on MnO as a limiting reactant

From equation , mol Al₂O₃ :

= 1/3 x mol MnO

= 1/3 x 2.329

= 0.776

Mass Al₂O₃ (MW=102 g/mol) :

= 0.776 x 102

= 79.152 g
