## Step 1<br />The 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:<br /><br />### \(4Al + 3O2 \rightarrow 2Al2O3\)<br /><br />## Step 2<br />From 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.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Given 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:<br /><br />### \(\frac{4 \text{ moles of Al}}{3 \text{ moles of O2}} = \frac{8 \text{ moles of Al}}{x \text{ moles of O2}}\)<br /><br />## Step 4<br />Solving for x gives us the number of moles of O2 produced.
