Your answer would be 0.00285 moles.
calculate moles of both reagents given and the moles of FeS that each of them would form if they were in excess
moles = mass / molar mass
moles Fe = 7.62 g / 55.85 g/mol
= 0.1364 moles
1 mole Fe produces 1 mole FeS
Therefore 7.62 g Fe can form 0.1364 moles FeS
moles S = 8.67 g / 32.07 g/mol
= 0.2703 moles S
1 mole S can from 1 moles FeS
So 8.67 g S can produce 0.2703 moles FeS
The limiting reagent is the one that produces the least product. So Fe is limiting.
The maximum amount of FeS possible is from complete reaction of all the limiting reagent.
We have already determined that the Fe can form up to 0.1364 moles of FeS, so this is max amount of FeS you can get.
Convert to mass
hope this helps :)
Leftover: approximately 11.73 g of sulfuric acid.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
Which reactant is <em>in excess</em>?
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 <em>moles</em> 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 <em>grams</em> 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 <em>grams</em> 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.
