If 2Al2O3 --> 4Al+ 3O2; So, first of all we can find amount of substance of Al2O3: n(Al2O3) = m(Al2O3)/M(Al2O3); M(Al2O3) = Ar(Al)*2 + Ar(O) *3; M(Al2O3) = 27*2+16*3 = 102 g/mol; n(Al2O3) = 100.0 g / 102.0 g/mol = 0.98 moles by the reaction equation the substances relate as: n(Al2O3) : n(Al) = 2 : 4; So n(Al) = n(Al2O3)*4/2 = 1.96 moles And the mass of Al will be: m(Al) = n(Al) * M(Al); M(Al) = Ar(Al) = 27 g/mol m(Al) = 1.96 mol * 27 g/mol = 52.92 g
