The mass of aluminum hydroxide formed during the interaction of a solution
The mass of aluminum hydroxide formed during the interaction of a solution containing 24 grams of sodium hydroxide and 26.7 grams of aluminum chloride is equal.
1. The reaction equation has the form:
3NaOH + AlCl3 = Al (OH) 3 + 3NaCl;
2. find the chemical amount of sodium hydroxide:
n (NaOH) = m (NaOH): M (NaOH);
M (NaOH) = 23 + 17 = 40 g / mol;
n (NaOH) = 24:40 = 0.6 mol;
3.calculate the amount of aluminum chloride
n (AlCl3) = m (AlCl3): M (AlCl3);
M (AlCl3) = 27 + 71 = 133.5 g / mol;
n (AlCl3) = 26.7: 133.5 = 0.2 mol;
4.set the amount of aluminum hydroxide
n (Al (OH) 3) = n (NaOH): 3 = 0.6: 3 = 0.2 mol;
5.determine the mass of the obtained hydroxide
m (Al (OH) 3) = n (Al (OH) 3) * M (Al (OH) 3);
M (Al (OH) 3) = 27 + 51 = 78 g / mol;
m (Al (OH) 3) = 0.2 * 78 = 15.6 g.
Answer: 15.6 g.
