In the reaction of aluminum with iron(III) oxide, what amount of Al₂O₃ is expected when 0.26 mol of aluminum is combined with 0.10 mol of iron(III) oxide?
Options
A 0.10 mol
Correct Answer
B 0.20 mol
C 0.26 mol
D 0.13 mol
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

With Fe₂O₃ limiting, amount of Al₂O₃ = 0.10 mol Fe₂O₃ × (1 mol Al₂O₃/1 mol Fe₂O₃) = 0.10 mol.
