Molar Mass of Al₂O₃
Aluminium oxide (alumina). Two Al³⁺ ions balance three O²⁻ ions, the same pattern as Fe₂O₃.
Molar mass of Al2O3
101.961 g/mol
2 × 26.982 + 3 × 15.999 = 101.961
Calculation, element by element
| Element | Atoms | Atomic mass (g/mol) | Subtotal | Mass % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminum (Al) | 2 | 26.982 | 53.964 | 52.93% |
| Oxygen (O) | 3 | 15.999 | 47.997 | 47.07% |
| Total | 101.961 | 100% |
= 0.098077 mol = 5.9063 × 1022 formula units
Al₂O₃ molar mass FAQ
What is the molar mass of aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃)?
101.961 g/mol. It is the sum of the atomic masses of every atom in the formula: 2 × 26.982 + 3 × 15.999 = 101.961 g/mol.
How many grams are in one mole of Al₂O₃?
101.961 g. Molar mass is the mass of one mole (6.022 × 10²³ formula units), so 1 mol of Al₂O₃ weighs 101.961 g and 0.5 mol weighs 50.980 g.
How many moles are in 10 g of Al₂O₃?
10 g ÷ 101.961 g/mol = 0.09808 mol.
What is the percent composition of Al₂O₃?
Aluminum 52.93%, Oxygen 47.07%.
Is molecular weight the same as molar mass for Al₂O₃?
Numerically yes: the molecular (or formula) weight is 101.961 u per formula unit, and the molar mass is 101.961 g/mol.
