aluminium is more reactive than carbon.

carbon is used to displace less reactive metals from their .
this happens since the carbon reacts with the other substance(s) in the compound, and the less reactive metal does not. the result is an isolated metal and a carbon compound.

aluminium is more reactive (higher in the reactivity series) than carbon. it will not be displaced by carbon, meaning that there will be no change in the substances made if aluminium oxide and carbon are heated together.

Oxide ions are also formed when aluminium oxide is dissolved. What is the formula of an oxide ion?

We would have got the same formalism had we considered the formula of $Al_2O_3$, given that we know that aluminum commonly forms an $Al^(3+)$ cation. Molten alumina is used in...

A mixture of magnesium carbonate and magnesium oxide of mass $12.46*g$ underwent fierce heating. After heating, there were $8.43*g$ of salt remaining. What were the masses of magnesium carbonate, and magnesium oxide in the original sample?

$MgCO_3(s)+DeltararrMgO(s) + CO_2(g)$ And we would have to heat the magnesium salt VERY fiercely to get complete decarboxylation. $"Moles of carbon dioxide LOST"$ $=$ $(4.40*g)/(44.01*g*mol^-1)$ $=0.010*mol$ And therefore in...

Solid bismuth oxide can react with carbon to form bismuth metal and carbon monoxide. How many grams of bismuth oxide reacted if 60.7 grams of bismuth is formed?

The answer is $67.6$ $g$. First, start with the balanced chemical equation $Bi_2O_(3(s)) + 3C_((s)) -> 2Bi_((s)) + 3CO_((g))$ We know the molar masses of $Bi$ ($209g/(mol)$) and $Bi_2O_3$ ($466g/(mol)$),...

Iron (III) oxide reacts with carbon monoxide to form molten iron and carbon dioxide. If .18 g of iron (III) oxide reacts with 0.11 g of carbon monoxide, how many grams of iron would be produced?

$"Moles of ferric oxide "=(0.18*g)/(159.69*g*mol^-1)$ $=$ $1.13xx10^-3*mol" metal oxide"$. $"Moles of carbon monoxide "=(0.11*g)/(28.0*g*mol^-1)$ $=$ $3.93xx10^-3*mol" CO"$. $Fe_2O_3$ is the reagent in deficiency (why?), and thus $2xx1.13xx10^-3*molxx55.85*g*mol^-1~=0.150*g$ iron metal are...

The balanced equation shows the reaction between aluminium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid to form aluminium chloride and water: Al(OH)3 + 3HCl = AlCl3 + 3H2O. 1 mole of aluminium chloride was formed, what mass of aluminium hydroxide was formed?

I'll assume you mean what mass of aluminum hydroxide reacted. We can use the coefficients of the equation to determine the number of moles of $"Al(OH)"_3$ that react, knowing that...

Iron can be extracted from iron(III) oxide by heating it with coke (carbon). The other product in the extraction reaction is carbon dioxide. What mass of iron is produced by reacting 550g of iron(III) oxide with 60g of coke?

Balanced Equation $"2Fe"_2"O"_3 + "3C"$$rarr$$"4Fe + 3CO"_2$ This is a limiting reactant question. The maximum amount of $"Fe"$ that can be produced is determined by the limiting reactant. We have...

Ferric oxide may be reduced to pure iron either with carbon monoxide or with coke (pure carbon). Suppose that 150.0 lb of ferric oxide are available. How many pounds of carbon monoxide would be required to reduce the oxide?

The answer relates to the stoichiometric equation, which tells us that $159.7*g$ $Fe_2O_3$ reacts with $84.0*g$ $CO$ to give $112*g$ $Fe$. You have $150*"lbs"xx454*g*"lb"^-1$ $=$ $68,100*g$ $Fe_2O_3$. Given the equations...

A mass of $2.40*g$ of calcium oxide is obtained by heating a mass of $5.00*g$ calcium carbonate. What is the stoichiometric equation that represents the formation of calcium oxide, and what is the percentage yield?

$CaCO_3(s) + Delta rarr CaO(s) + CO_2(g)uarr$ The $Delta$ symbol represents heat, and you have to fiercely heat these carbonates to effect decomposition. Note that this reaction is certainly stoichiometrically...
