Question

based on the following balanced equation: 4al + 3o₂ → 2al₂o₃ what is the ratio of aluminum (al) to aluminum oxide (al₂o₃)? 4al:2al₂o₃ 4al:6o 2al₂o₃:3o₂ 4al:3o₂

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the balanced equation

The balanced equation is \(4\text{Al}+3\text{O}_2
ightarrow2\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3\).

Step2: Determine the ratio of Al to Al₂O₃

From the coefficients in the equation, for Al (\(4\) moles) and Al₂O₃ (\(2\) moles), the ratio is \(4\text{Al}:2\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3\).

Answer:

\(4\text{Al}:2\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3\)
