Answer:
53.18 grams of H₂SO₄ are needed to react with 78.86 grams of Al(NO₃)₃.
Explanation:
The balanced reaction between Al(NO₃)₃ and H₂SO₄ is:
2 Al(NO₃)₃ + 3 H₂SO₄ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6 HNO₃
By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of reagents are required:
Being the molar mass of the elements:
then the molar mass of the reactants are:
Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following reagent mass amounts are required:
Then you can apply the following rule of three: If by stoichiometry 436 g of Al(NO₃)₃ react with 294 g of H₂SO₄, 78.86 g of Al(NO₃)₃ with how much mass of H₂SO₄ will it react?
[tex]mass of H_{2} SO_{4} =\frac{78.86 grams of Al(NO_{3} )_{3}*294gramsofH_{2} SO_{4} }{436 grams of Al(NO_{3} )_{3}}[/tex]
mass of H₂SO₄=53.18 g
53.18 grams of H₂SO₄ are needed to react with 78.86 grams of Al(NO₃)₃.
