Question

Find the volume of hydrogen gas formed when 1.5g of aluminum reacts with aq NaOH at 27 degrees Celcius.

Al + NaOH + H2O -------------> H2 + NaAlO2

Answer 1

how can I solve this ?4Al+3O2 produce 2Al2O3 find a) oxygen atoms needed to react with 5.4 g of aluminium b) grams of oxygen needed to react with 0.6 mol of aluminium?

(A) n=m/M,

n(Al)=5.4/27=0.2 moles

n(O2)=n(Al)*3/4=0.2*3/4=0.15 moles

Number of oxygen atoms= n(O2)*Avogadro's number

=0.15*6.02*10^23=9.03*10^22 oxgyen atoms

(B)

n=m/M

n(Al)=0.6/27=0.02222 moles

n(O2)=n(Al)*3/4=0.016666 moles

m=n*M

m(O2)=0.0166666*32=0.53333 grams
