What expression approximates the volume of O2 consumed, measure at STP, when 55 g of Al reacts completely with excess O2?2 Al(s) + 3 O2(g) --> 2 Al2O3(s)0.5 x 0.67 x 22.42 x 1.5 x 22.40.5 x 1.5 x 22.42 x 0.67 x 22.4

Answer:

34.28 L ( 1.5*22.4 L)

Explanation:

Calculation of the moles of aluminum as:-

Mass = 55 g

Molar mass of aluminum = 26.981539 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

[tex]moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}[/tex]

Thus,

[tex]Moles= \frac{55\ g}{26.981539\ g/mol}[/tex]

[tex]Moles= 2.0384\ mol[/tex]

According to the reaction:-

[tex]4Al+3O_2\rightarrow 2Al_2O_3[/tex]

4 moles of aluminum react with 3 moles of oxygen gas

1 mole of aluminum react with [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] moles of oxygen gas

2.0384 moles of aluminum react with [tex]\frac{3}{4}\times 2.0384[/tex] moles of oxygen gas

Moles of oxygen gas = 1.5288 moles

At STP,  

Pressure = 1 atm  

Temperature = 273.15 K

Using ideal gas equation as:

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

where,

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

1 atm × V = 1.5288 mol × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 273.15 K

⇒V = 34.28 L ( 1.5*22.4 L)
