Based on the balanced reaction 4Cr+3O2=2Cr2O3 how many grams of Cr (MM=52.00g/mol) will react with 5.10x10^2 grams of O2 (MM=32.00g/mol) in complete

Scientific notation

Grams of Cr that react are 11,05x10*2 g

Explanation:

4Cr + 3O2 → 2Cr2O3

This equation means that 4 moles of Cr, react with 3 moles of O2.

My mass of O2 is 5,1x10*2g but I need to know the moles.

Mass / Molar mass = Moles

5,1x10*2g / 32.00g/mol = 15,9 moles of O2

So the rule of three is

If 3 moles of O2 __ react with __ 4 moles of Cr

15, 9 moles of O2 ___ react with___?

(15,9. 4) / 3 = 21,2 moles of Cr.

To know the mass, I have to multipply, the molar mass to the moles.

Molar mass. Moles = Mass

52g/mol. 21,2 moles = 1105 gr.

In scientific notation I can write 11,05x10*2 g
