Respuesta :
Answer;
B) Al2O3
Explanation;
Aluminium reacts with oxygen to form aluminium oxide.
The chemical reaction for the reaction between Aluminium and Oxygen is;
4Al+ 3O₂→ 2Al₂O₃
Therefore;
Compound X is Aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃)
Answer: The correct answer is Option B.
Explanation:
When aluminium metal reacts with air, it produces an oxide named as aluminium oxide. The chemical formula for this compound is [tex]Al_2O_3[/tex]
The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction follows:
[tex]4Al(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Al_2O_3(s)[/tex]
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
4 moles of aluminium metal reacts with 3 moles of oxygen to produce 2 moles of aluminium oxide.
This reaction is a type of synthesis reaction because substances are reacting in their elemental state to produce one compound.
Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
