Heyy, could someone help me please?

Aluminium is extracted from aluminium oxide in the following reaction

2Al203 ---> 4Al + 302


Calculate the maximum theoretical mass of aluminium that can be made from 1.0kg of aluminium oxide.
I got 280g, is that right?
529 g is answer.

Figure out the moles of Aluminium Oxide using this complex equation, Moles = Mass/Mr

Figure out the mole ratio. Then use that to calculate the mass.

Perhaps you're calculating Mr incorrectly
