Aluminium reacts with dilute sulfuric acid based on the following reaction:
<span>2Al + 3H2SO4 ..............> Al2 (SO4)3 + 3H2
From the periodic table:
mass of aluminium = 27 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
mass of sulfur = 32 grams
Therefore:
molar mass of aluminium = 27 grams
molar mass of sulfuric acid = 2(1) + 32 + 4(16) = 98 grams
From the balanced chemical equation:
2 moles of aluminium react with 3 moles of dilute sulfuric acid.
This means that 34 grams of Al react with 294 grams of the acid
To get the amount of aluminium that reacts with </span><span>5.890 g of sulfuric acid, we will do cross multiplication as follows:
</span>amount of Al = (<span>5.890 x 34) / 294 = 0.6811 grams</span>
The specific gravity of a sample is the ratio of the density of the sample with respect to one standard sample. The standard sample used in specific gravity calculation is water whose density is 1 g/mL. The solution having specific gravity 1.30 is the density of the sample that is 1.30 g/mL. Thus the weight of the 30 mL sample is (30×1.30) = 39 g.
Now the mass of the 10 mL of water is 10 g as density of water is 10 g/mL. Thus after addition the total mass of the solution is (39 + 10) = 49g and the volume is (30 + 10) = 40 mL. Thus the density of the mixture will be
g/mL. Thus the specific gravity of the mixed sample will be 1.225 g/mL.
