Leftover: approximately 11.73 g of sulfuric acid.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Which reactant is in excess?

The theoretical yield of water from Al(OH)₃ is lower than that from H₂SO₄. As a result,

Al(OH)₃ is the limiting reactant.
H₂SO₄ is in excess.

How many moles of H₂SO₄ is consumed?

Balanced equation:

2 Al(OH)₃ + 3 H₂SO₄ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6 H₂O

Each mole of Al(OH)₃ corresponds to 3/2 moles of H₂SO4. The formula mass of Al(OH)₃ is 78.003 g/mol. There are 15 / 78.003 = 0.19230 moles of Al(OH)₃ in the five grams of Al(OH)₃ available. Al(OH)₃ is in excess, meaning that all 0.19230 moles will be consumed. Accordingly, 0.19230 × 3/2 = 0.28845 moles of H₂SO₄ will be consumed.

How many grams of H₂SO₄ is consumed?

The molar mass of H₂SO₄ is 98.076 g.mol. The mass of 0.28845 moles of H₂SO₄ is 0.28845 × 98.076 = 28.289 g.

How many grams of H₂SO₄ is in excess?

40 grams of sulfuric acid H₂SO₄ is available. 28.289 grams is consumed. The remaining 40 - 28.289 = 11.711 g is in excess. That's closest to the first option: 11.73 g of sulfuric acid.

Salt dissolved in water is a solution, therefore _____.

saveliy_v [14]

Answer: Correct options are as follows.

salt is not chemically bonded to water.

salt and water retain their own chemical properties.

Explanation:

When salt is dissolved in water then it means that it is a physical change as salt has completely dissociated into ions but they are not chemically combined to the water molecules.

As a result, both salt and water will retain their chemical properties.

For example, NaCl when dissolved in water will dissociate as follows.

$NaCl \rightarrow Na^{+} + Cl^{-}$

Only the particles of salt have evenly distributed in water.

And, when a components of a salt chemically combine with another substance then it will form a new compound.

Therefore, we can conclude that salt dissolved in water is a solution, therefore:

salt is not chemically bonded to water.

salt and water retain their own chemical properties.
