4 Al + 3 O2 --> 2 Al2O3
How many moles of aluminum are needed to produce 3.7 mole of aluminum oxide?

The answer to your question is 7.4 moles of Aluminum

Explanation:

Data

moles of Al = ?

moles of Al₂O₃ = 3.7

Balanced chemical reaction

                4 Al  +  3 O₂  ⇒  2 Al₂O₃

To solve this problem use proportions and cross multiplication. Use the coefficients of the balanced chemical equation.

                4 moles of Aluminum 2 moles of Al₂O₃

                 x                                   3.7 moles of Al₂O₃

                            x = (3.7 x 4) / 2

                            x = 14.8 / 2

                            x = 7.4 moles of Aluminum

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.

50.23 i believe is correct but don't quote me on that.
