Fe2O3 (s) + 2 Al (s) ---> 3 Fe (l) + Al2O3 (s) Based on the thermite reaction, how much aluminum oxide (Al2O3) is formed from 8.0 grams of aluminum (Al)?

15.3 g

Explanation:

First we convert 8.0 grams of aluminum into moles, using its molar mass:

Then we convert 0.30 moles of aluminum into moles of aluminum oxide, using the stoichiometric coefficients:

Finally we convert 0.15 moles of Al₂O₃ into grams, using its molar mass:

answer: enthalpy

explanation:

for a exothermic reaction, the energy is released i.e. the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.

= enthaply

= energy of products

= energy of reactants

as , thus comes out to be negative. negative value of enthalpy shows that the reaction is exothermic.

thats how its supposed to be
