Answer:
280 g Al₂O₃
Explanation:
To find the mass, you need to multiply the given value by the molar mass. This will cause the conversion because the molar mass exists as a ratio; technically, the ratio states that there are 101.96 grams per every 1 mole Al₂O₃. It is important to arrange the ratio in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. In this case, the desired unit (grams) should be in the numerator. The final answer should have 2 sig figs to reflect the given value (2.7 mol).
Molar Mass (Al₂O₃): 101.96 g/mol
2.7 moles Al₂O₃ 101.96 g
------------------------ x ------------------- = 275 g Al₂O₃ = 280 g Al₂O₃
1 mole
