Question 69

Chromium can be extracted from chromium(III) oxide, Cr2O3\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_3Cr2​O3​, by reduction with aluminium:

Cr2O3+2Al→2Cr+Al2O3 \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_3 + 2\text{Al} \rightarrow 2\text{Cr} + \text{Al}_2\text{O}_3 Cr2​O3​+2Al→2Cr+Al2​O3​

24.5 g of Cr2O3\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_3Cr2​O3​ is reacted with an excess of aluminium. The percentage yield of chromium is 72.0%.

What is the mass of chromium obtained?

(Relative atomic masses, ArA_rAr​: O=16.0\text{O} = 16.0O=16.0, Al=27.0\text{Al} = 27.0Al=27.0, Cr=52.0\text{Cr} = 52.0Cr=52.0)
