Question

How many moles of aluminum hydroxide would be produced from 4.6 miles of calcium hydroxide

Answer 1

Answer:

3.067 moles

Explanation:

• Assuming the reaction in question is between Aluminium chloride and calcium hydroxide to produce calcium chloride and aluminium hydroxide, then we can answer the question.

• The equation for the reaction is given by;

2AlCl₃ + 3Ca(OH)₂ → 2Al(OH)₃ + 3CaCl₂

We are given;

• 4.6 moles of Calcium hydroxide

We are required to determine the number of moles of Aluminium hydroxide formed.

From the equation, 3 moles of Ca(OH)₂ reacts to produce 2 moles of Al(OH)₃

Therefore;

Moles of Al(OH)₃ = Moles of Ca(OH)₂ × 2/3

                            = 4.6 moles × 2/3

                            = 3.067 moles

Therefore, 3.067 moles of Al(OH)₃ would be produced.
