    4 Al + 3 O2 → 2 Al2O3

    (10.0 g Al) / (26.98154 g Al/mol) = 0.37062 mol Al

    (19.0 g O2) / (31.99886 g O2/mol) = 0.59377 mol O2

    0.37062 mole of Al would react completely with 0.37062 x (3/4) = 0.277965 mole of O2, but there is more O2 present than that, so O2 is in excess.

    ((0.59377 mol O2 initially) - (0.277965 mol O2 reacted)) x (31.99886 g O2/mol) =

    10.1 g O2 left over
