Answer: 17.34 grams of alum will be produced if 0.9875 g of Aluminium foil was used.

Explanation: Reaction to form alum from Aluminium is given as:

2Al(s)+2KOH(aq.)+2H_2O(l)+4H_2SO_4(aq.)\rightarrow 2KAl(SO_4)_2(s).12H_2O(l)+3H_2(g)

We are given Aluminium to be the limiting reactant, so the formation of alum will be dependent on Aluminium because it limits the formation of product.

By stoichiometry,

2 moles of Al is producing 2 moles of Alum

Mass of 2 moles of Aluminium = (2 × 27)g/mol = 54 g/mol

Mass of 2 moles of alum = (2 × 474)g/mol = 948 g/mol

54 g/mol of aluminium will produce 948 g/mol of alum, so

\text{0.9875 grams of aluminium will produce}=\frac{948g/mol}{54g/mol}\times 0.9875g

Amount of Alum produced = 17.34 grams

Theoretical yield of alum = 17.34 grams.
