D) Contain Chemical bonds.
<span>atomic weights: Al = 26.98, Cl = 35.45
In this reaction; 2Al = 53.96 and 3Cl2 = 212.7
Ratio of Al:Cl = 53.96/212.7 = 0.2537 that is approximately four times the mass Cl is needed.
Step 2:
(a) Ratio of Al:Cl = 2.70/4.05 = 0.6667
since the ratio is greater than 0.2537 the divisor which is Cl is not big enough to give a smaller ratio equal to 0.2537.
so Cl is limiting
(b)since Cl is the limiting reactant 4.05g will be used to determine the mass of AlCl3 that can be produced.
From Step 1:
212.7g of Cl will produce 266.66g AlCl3
212.7g = 266.66g
4.05g = x
x = 5.08g of AlCl3 can be produced
(c)
Al:Cl = 0.2537
Al:Cl = Al:4.05 = 0.2537
mass of Al used in reaction = 4.05 x 0.2537 = 1.027g
Excess reactant = 2.70 - 1.027 = 1.67g

The correct answer is approximately 11.73 grams of sulfuric acid.
The theoretical yield of water from Al(OH)3 is lower than that of H₂SO₄. As a consequence, Al(OH)3 is the limiting reactant, H₂SO₄ is in excess.
The balanced equation is:
2Al(OH)₃ + 3H₂SO₄ ⇒ Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6H₂O
Each mole of Al(OH)3 corresponds to 3/2 moles of H₂SO₄. The molecular 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 limiting, which means that all 0.19230 moles will be consumed. Accordingly, 0.19230 × 3/2 = 0.28845 moles of H₂SO₄ will be consumed.
The molar mass of H₂SO₄ is 98.706 g/mol. The mass of 0.28845 moles of H₂SO₄ is 0.28845 × 98.706 = 28.289 g
40 grams of sulfuric acid is available, out of which 28.289 grams is consumed. The remaining 40-28.289 = 11.711 g is in excess, which is closest to the first option, that is, 11.73 grams of H₂SO₄.
