Answer:
The presence of <em>silver nitrate impurities</em> is the most probable cause for the initial precipitate result.
Explanation:
In test for halide ions, silver nitrate is used to test for the presence of soluble halide ions. The presence of
in the reaction mixture (possibly the HNO3) gave the semblance of test for chlorides, allowing for formation of precipitation in the initial experiment.
This error could have been caused by handling of reagents and used laboratory apparatus during the initial reaction.

Answer:
26.67 mol HCl
Explanation:
Al(OH)₃ + 3HCl → AlCl₃ + 3H₂O
In order to solve this problem, we need to c<u>onvert Al(OH)₃ moles to HCl moles</u>.
To do so we use the<em> stoichiometric ratios</em> of the balanced reaction:
- 8.89 mol Al(OH)₃ *
= 26.67 mol HCl
Thus 26.67 moles of HCl would react completely with 8.89 moles of Al(OH)₃.
