Solution

The balanced chemical equation is
$4 A l + 3 O_{2} \to 2 A l_{2} O_{3}$

108 g of $A l$ on reaction with 67.4 litre of oxygen at STP gives 204 g of alumina.
54 g of $A l$ should react with 33.7 litre of oxygen and give 102 g of alumina.

Hence the amount of excess reagent = 67.4 - 33.7 = 33.7 litre
Theoretical yield = 102 g
Experimental yield = 76.5 g
Percentage yield $= \frac{experimental yield}{theoretical yield} \times 100$
$= \frac{76.5}{102} \times 100$
$= 75 %$
