Aluminium oxide is made by reacting aluminium with oxygen.
4Al+3O2→2Al2O34\text{Al} + 3\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{Al}_2\text{O}_34Al+3O2→2Al2O3
Relative atomic masses (ArA_rAr): Al=27\text{Al} = 27Al=27, O=16\text{O} = 16O=16
A batch uses 10.8 g of aluminium. Calculate the mass of oxygen needed to use up all the aluminium.
Calculate the maximum mass of aluminium oxide formed in this batch.
