2 Al + 3 H2SO4 --> Al2(SO4)3 + 3 H2 If you have 7.6 moles of Al, then how many moles of H2SO4 will be needed to react completely with it?

Respuesta :

Answer:

11.4 moles of H₂SO₄ are needed to completely react the 7.6 moles of Al

Explanation:

The equation indicates that 2 moles of aluminum react to 3 moles of sulfuric acid in order to produce 1 mol of aluminum sulfate and 3 moles of hydrogen gas.

The reaction is:  2Al + 3H₂SO₄ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂

This question can be solved with an easy rule of three. Ratio in the reaciton is 2:3, so we propose:

2 moles of Al react with 3 moles of sulfuric acid

Then, 7.6 moles of Al will react with 11.4 moles of H₂SO₄
