What mass of salt is formed by the interaction of 400 g of a solution with a mass fraction of hydrochloric
What mass of salt is formed by the interaction of 400 g of a solution with a mass fraction of hydrochloric acid of 7.3% and aluminum hydroxide?
1. The interaction of hydrochloric acid and aluminum hydroxide describes the equation:
3HCl + Al (OH) 3 = AlCl3 + 3H2O;
2.Calculate the mass of hydrogen chloride:
m (HCl) = w (HCl) * m (solution) = 0.073 * 400 = 29.2 g;
3. calculate the chemical amount of hydrogen chloride:
n (HCl) = m (HCl): M (HCl) = 29.2: 36.5 = 0.8 mol;
4.According to the equation of aluminum chloride, the reaction produces three times less than hydrochloric acid reacts:
n (AlCl3) = n (HCl): 3 = 0.8: 3 = 0.2667 mol;
5. find the mass of the formed salt:
m (AlCl3) = n (AlCl3) * M (AlCl3);
M (AlCl3) = 27 + 35.5 * 3 = 133.5 g / mol;
m (AlCl3) = 0.2667 * 133.5 = 35.6 g.
Answer: 35.6 g.
