27 g of Al will react with how much mass of O2 to produce Al2O3?

Correct answer: D. 24g of oxygen

  • A. 8g of oxygen
  • B. 16g of oxygen
  • C. 32g of oxygen
  • D. 24g of oxygen

Explanation

Option D is the right answerSolution number of moles of Al = given mass/molar mass=27/27= 1 moleThe balance equation for such reaction is4Al + 3O2------- 2Al2O3Al : O24 : 31 : ¾ x1 = 0.750.75 moles of oxygen is used Thus, mass of oxygen = 0.75 x 32 Answer = 24g
