1. Find the molar mass of aluminum:
* The molar mass of aluminum (Al) is 26.98 g/mol. This means one mole of aluminum weighs 26.98 grams.
2. Use the formula:
* moles = mass / molar mass
3. Plug in the values:
* moles = 5.39 g / 26.98 g/mol
* moles ≈ 0.200 mol
Therefore, there are approximately 0.200 moles of aluminum in 5.39 grams.
