Question #cbc36
1 Answer
All you need to do to solve this problem is look at the mole ratios that exist between the species that take part in the reaction.
For a balanced chemical equation, the stoichiometric coefficients will tell you the relationship that exists between the number of moles of each species.
In your case,
So, if 6 moles of aluminium oxide, you'll produce
Likewise, if 1 mole of aluminium metal was produced by the reaction, it must mean that
In similar fashion, if 4 moles of oxygen gas are produced, you'll also get
As a conclusion, always be aware of the mole ratios that exist between the species, as they are great tools for stoichiometric problems.
