How many moles of oxygen are produced when 8 moles of Al are produced? square

## Step 1The problem involves stoichiometry, which is a branch of chemistry that deals with the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of aluminum (Al) with oxygen (O2) to produce aluminum oxide (Al2O3) is:### ## Step 2From the balanced equation, we can see that 4 moles of Al react with 3 moles of O2 to produce 2 moles of Al2O3. This means that the ratio of Al to O2 is 4:3.## Step 3Given that 8 moles of Al are produced, we can use the ratio from the balanced equation to find the number of moles of O2 produced. We set up a proportion:### ## Step 4Solving for x gives us the number of moles of O2 produced.
