Based on the equation below, how many moles of aluminum sulfate (Al2(SO4)3) will be produced from the reaction of 5.8 moles of aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3) and excess sulfuric acid (H2SO4)?

2Al(OH)3 + 3H2SO4 → Al2(SO4)3 + 6H2O
A. 2.9 moles of aluminum sulfate
B. 3.9moles of aluminum sulfate
C. 5.8 moles of aluminum sulfate
D. 11.6 moles of aluminum sulfate

Respuesta :

Answer:

a is the correct answer

Explanation:

i just did this question and it said a was right

The number of moles of aluminum sulfate produced from the 5.8 moles of aluminum hydroxide and excess sulfuric acid is 2.9 moles.

The balanced chemical equation can be given as:

2 Al(OH)₃ + 3 H₂SO₄ [tex]\rightarrow[/tex] Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6 H₂O

In the above reaction, the stoichiometry of the amounts of each compound participating in the reaction is:

Al(OH)₃ - 2 moles

H₂SO₄ -  3 moles

Al₂(SO₄)₃ - 1 mole

H₂O - 6 moles

From the above observation, it can be assumed that for every 2 moles of aluminum hydroxide produce 1 mole of aluminum sulfate.

Then, the number of moles produced by 5.8 moles of aluminum hydroxide is x.

[tex]\text{moles of Al}_{2} (\text{SO}_{4} ){3} =\dfrac{\text{5.8moles of Al(OH)}_{3} \times \text {1 mole of Al}_{2} (\text {SO}_{4} ){3}}{\text {2moles of Al(OH)}_{3}}[/tex]

Thus, 2.9 moles of aluminum hydroxide will be produced from the 5.8 moles of aluminum hydroxide.
