<h3><u>Answer; </u></h3>
=10.38 moles KOH
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
The balanced equation.
6KOH + Al2(SO4)3 --> 3K2SO4 + 2Al(OH)3
From the equation;
1 mole of aluminum sulfate requires 6 moles of potassium hydroxide.
Moles of Aluminium sulfate; 1.73 moles
Moles of KOH;
1 mol Al2(SO4)3 : 6 mol KOH = 1.73 mol Al2(SO4)3 : x mol KOH
Thus; x = (6 × 1.73)
<u> =10.38 moles KOH </u>
To determine the mass of the sample, first find the volume difference after and before the aluminum was placed, the volume change is equal to the volume of the submerged object, in this case aluminum.
Then knowing volume of aluminum and the density of it, we can solve for the mass.
D = m/v
Dv = m
2.7 g/ml • 8 ml = 21.6 grams.
