    172 g Al

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We know we will need a balanced equation with masses and molar masses, so let's gather all the information in one place.

    M_r: 26.98 101.96

    4Al + 3O₂ ⟶ 2Al₂O₃

    m/g: 325

    (a) Calculate the moles of Al₂O₃

    n = 325 g Al₂O₃ * 1 mol Al₂O₃ / 39.10 g Al₂O₃

    n = 3.188 mol Al₂O₃

    (b) Calculate the moles of Al

    The molar ratio is (4 mol Al/2 mol Al₂O₃)

    n = 3.188 mol Al₂O₃ * (4 mol Al/2 mol Al₂O₃)

    n = 6.375 mol Al

    (c) Calculate the mass of Al

    m = 6.375 mol Al * (26.98 g Al/1 mol Al)

    m = 172 g Al

    Note: The answer can have only three significant figures because that is all you gave for the mass of Al₂O₃.
