If 1.5 moles of oxygen combines with aluminium to form Al2O3, then the weight of aluminium (atomic weight = 27) used in this reaction is __________ gm?

Correct answer: B. 54

  • A. 27
  • B. 54
  • C. 5.4
  • D. 2.7

Explanation

The reaction is 2Al + 3/2O2 → Al2O3, so 1.5 mol of oxygen consumes 2 mol of aluminium. The aluminium mass is therefore 2 × 27 = 54 g.
