Calculate the amount of substance and the mass of Al sulfide that can be obtained from Al

Calculate the amount of substance and the mass of Al sulfide that can be obtained from Al weighing 5.4 g and S weighing 16 g.

m (Al) = 5.4 g.
m (S) = 16 g.
Determine the mass of aluminum sulfite. We write down the solution.
First, we write down the equation of reactions.
2Аl + 3S = Al2S3.
We find the amount of the substance aluminum and sulfur.
n = m / M.
M (Al) = 27 g / mol.
n = 5.4 / 27 = 0.2 mol.
M (S) = 32 g / mol.
n (S) = 16/32 = 0.2 mol.
Sulfur is in short supply, so we count in the middle.
We find the amount of a substance of aluminum sulfide according to the equation of reactions.
0.2 mol S – x mol Al2S3
3 mol S – 1 mol Al2S3
X = 0.2 * 1: 3 = 0.067 mol.
m = n * M.
M (Al2S3) = 2 * 27 + 32 * 3 = 150 g / mol.
m = 150 * 0.067 = 10.05 g.
Answer: m (Al2S3) = 10.05 g; n = 0.067 mol.
