Correct answer: 153

  1. Write the balanced chemical equation

4Al+3O2→2Al2O34\text{Al} + 3\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{Al}_2\text{O}_34Al+3O2​→2Al2​O3​

  1. Calculate moles of reactants

For aluminium:

n(Al)=81.027.0=3.0 moln(\text{Al}) = \frac{81.0}{27.0} = 3.0\ \text{mol}n(Al)=27.081.0​=3.0 mol

For oxygen gas:

Molar mass of O2=2×16.0=32.0 g mol−1\text{O}_2 = 2\times 16.0 = 32.0\ \text{g mol}^{-1}O2​=2×16.0=32.0 g mol−1

n(O2)=128.032.0=4.0 moln(\text{O}_2) = \frac{128.0}{32.0} = 4.0\ \text{mol}n(O2​)=32.0128.0​=4.0 mol

  1. Find the limiting reagent

From the balanced equation:

4 mol Al react with 3 mol O24\ \text{mol Al} \text{ react with } 3\ \text{mol O}_24 mol Al react with 3 mol O2​

So, for 3.03.03.0 mol Al, required oxygen is:

Required O2=3.0×34=2.25 mol\text{Required } \text{O}_2 = 3.0 \times \frac{3}{4} = 2.25\ \text{mol}Required O2​=3.0×43​=2.25 mol

Available oxygen = 4.04.04.0 mol, which is excess.

Therefore, Al is the limiting reagent.

  1. Calculate moles of aluminium oxide formed

From the equation:

4 mol Al→2 mol Al2O34\ \text{mol Al} \rightarrow 2\ \text{mol Al}_2\text{O}_34 mol Al→2 mol Al2​O3​

Thus,

3.0 mol Al→3.0×24=1.5 mol Al2O33.0\ \text{mol Al} \rightarrow 3.0 \times \frac{2}{4} = 1.5\ \text{mol Al}_2\text{O}_33.0 mol Al→3.0×42​=1.5 mol Al2​O3​

  1. Calculate molar mass of aluminium oxide

M(Al2O3)=2(27.0)+3(16.0)=54+48=102 g mol−1M(\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3) = 2(27.0) + 3(16.0) = 54 + 48 = 102\ \text{g mol}^{-1}M(Al2​O3​)=2(27.0)+3(16.0)=54+48=102 g mol−1

  1. Calculate mass of aluminium oxide produced

m=n×M=1.5×102=153 gm = n \times M = 1.5 \times 102 = 153\ \text{g}m=n×M=1.5×102=153 g

  1. Nearest integer

153\boxed{153}153​

The derived answer matches the stored correct answer.
