When aldehydes are heated with Fehlings solution, a precipitate forms. This precipitate is characterized by its color. Among the given options, 'brick red' is the correct answer. The reaction involves the oxidation of aldehydes to their corresponding carboxylic acids, which forms a complex copper(II) ion with the Fehling's reagent. The resulting color is brick red.

Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) is formed from 2 moles of Al and 3/2 moles of O2. Assuming equal moles of Al and O2 react, the limiting reagent determines the product amount. If moles of Al and O2 are equal, 0.18 mole of Al2O3 is formed as 2 moles of Al produce 1 mole of Al2O3.
