Aluminium burns in oxygen to form aluminium oxide.
4Al+3O2→2Al2O34\mathrm{Al} + 3\mathrm{O_{2}} \rightarrow 2\mathrm{Al_{2}O_{3}}4Al+3O2→2Al2O3
Relative atomic masses, ArA_rAr: Al = 27.0, O = 16.0
Show that the total relative mass of the reactants is equal to the total relative mass of the product in this equation.
