Consider the reaction of solid aluminum iodide and potassium metal to form solid potassium iodide and aluminum metal.The balance

d chemical equation is AlI₃(s) + 3 K(s) → 3 KI(s) + Al(s).Given the reaction has a percent yield of 67.8%, what is the mass in grams of aluminum iodide that would be required to yield an actual amount of 30.25 grams of aluminum?

Answer:

674.26 g of AlI₃

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the theoretical yield of aluminum (Al). This can be obtained as follow:

Percentage yield of Al = 67.8%

Actual yield of Al = 30.25 g

Theoretical yield of Al =?

Percentage yield = Actual yield /Theoretical yield × 100/

67.8% = 30.25 / Theoretical yield

67.8 / 100 = 30.25 / Theoretical yield

0.678 = 30.25 / Theoretical yield

Cross multiply

0.678 × Theoretical yield = 30.25

Divide both side by 0.678

Theoretical yield = 30.25 / 0.678

Theoretical yield of Al = 44.62 g

Next, we shall determine the mass of AlI₃ that reacted and the mass of Al produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

AlI₃(s) + 3K(s) → 3KI(s) + Al(s)

Molar mass of AlI₃ = 27 + (3×127)

= 27 + 381 = 408 g/mol

Mass of AlI₃ from the balanced equation = 1 × 408 = 408 g

Molar mass of Al = 27 g/mol

Mass of Al from the balanced equation = 1 × 27 = 27 g

Summary:

From the balanced equation above,

408 g of AlI₃ reacted to produce 27 g of Al.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of

AlI₃ required to produce 44.62 g of Al. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

408 g of AlI₃ reacted to produce 27 g of Al.

Therefore, Xg of AlI₃ will react to produce 44.62 g of Al i.e

Xg of AlI₃ = (408 × 44.62)/27

Xg of AlI₃ = 674.26 g

Thus, 674.26 g of AlI₃ is needed for the reaction.
