Sulfuric acid dissolves aluminum metal according to the following reaction:
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

m_{H_2SO_4}=81.7gH_2SO_4

m_{H_2}=1.67gH_2

Explanation:

Hello,

Based on the given undergoing chemical reaction is is rewritten below:

2Al (s) + 3H_2SO_4 (aq)\rightarrow  Al _2(SO4)_3 (aq) + 3H_2 (g)

By stoichiometry we find the minimum mass of H2SO4 (in g) as shown below:

m_{H_2SO_4}=15.0gAl*\frac{1molAl}{27gAl}*\frac{3molH_2SO_4}{2molAl}*\frac{98gH_2SO_4}{1molH_2SO_4} \\m_{H_2SO_4}=81.7gH_2SO_4

Moreover, mass of H2 gas (in g) would be produced by the complete reaction of the aluminum block turns out:

m_{H_2}=15.0gAl*\frac{1molAl}{27gAl}*\frac{3molH_2}{2molAl}*\frac{2gH_2}{1molH_2} \\m_{H_2}=1.67gH_2

Best regards.

Find mass of 3 moles of water​
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

54 g

Explanation:

1 mole of water = H2O

mass of 1 mole of H2O= mass of h2 + mass of o

= 2× mass of h +mass of o

= 2×1+16 =18 g

1 mole of water = 18g

3moles of water = 18×3g= 54g
