Calculate the mass of aluminum sulfide, which is formed by the interaction of 2.7 mol of aluminum with 3.6 g of sulfur.
Let’s find the amount of aluminum substance by the formula:
n = m: M.
M (Al) = 27 g / mol.
n = 2.7 g: 27 g / mol = 0.1 mol.
Let’s find the amount of sulfur substance:
M (S) = 32 g / mol.
n = 3.6 g: 32 g / mol = 0.11 mol.
Sulfur is in short supply, aluminum in abundance. Solving the sulfur problem.
Let’s compose the reaction equation, find the quantitative ratios of substances.
2Al + 3S = Al2S3.
According to the reaction equation, 3 mol of sulfur accounts for 1 mol of aluminum sulfide. The substances are in quantitative ratios of 3: 1.
The amount of Al2S3 substance will be 3 times less than alcohol.
n (Al2S3) = 1 / 3n (S) = 0.11: 3 = 0.037 mol.
Let’s find the mass of Al2S3.
M (Al2S3.) = 150 g / mol.
m = n × M.
m = 150 g / mol × 0.037 mol = 5.55 g.
Answer: 5.55 g.
