How many moles of aluminum are needed to react completely with 1.2 mol of feo

Considering the reaction stoichiometry, 0.8 moles of aluminum are needed to react completely with 1.2 moles of FeO.

The balanced reaction is:

2 Al + 3 FeO → 3 Fe + Al₂O₃

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

Then you can apply the following rule of three:  if by stoichiometry 3 moles of FeO react with 2 moles of Al, 1.2 moles of FeO react with how many moles of Al?

amount of moles of Al= 0.8 moles

Finally, 0.8 moles of aluminum are needed to react completely with 1.2 moles of FeO.

0.8 mol.

Explanation:

2Al + 3FeO → 3Fe + Al₂O₃,

It is clear that 2 mol of Al react with 3 mol of FeO to produce 3 mol of Fe and 1 mol of Al₂O₃.

Using cross multiplication:

2 mol of Al needs → 3 mol of FeO, from stichiometry.

??? mol of Al needs → 1.2 mol of FeO.

∴ The no. of moles of Al are needed to react completely with 1.2 mol of FeO = (2 mol)(1.2 mol)/(3 mol) = 0.8 mol.
