Question

determine the maximum amount of NaN03 that was produced during the experiment. Explain how you determined the amount

Answer 1

Answer:

9 moles of NaNO3 is obtained

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction equation for the reaction is;

Al(NO3)3 + 3NaCl-------> 3NaNO3 + AlCl3

Now, we have to determine the limiting reactant. The limiting reactant yields the least amount of NaNO3.

1 mole of Al(NO3)3 yields 3 moles of NaNO3

4 moles of Al(NO3)3 yields 4 * 3/1 = 12 moles of NaNO3

Also,

3 moles of NaCl yields 3 moles of NaNO3

9 moles of NaCl yields 9 * 3/3 = 9 moles of NaNO3

Hence, NaCl  is the limiting reactant and 9 moles of NaNO3 is obtained.
