Answer 1

1. 170,9 g of AlCl₃ and 142,5 g of Ca(OH)₂

2. 108,0 g of HgO

3. 112,0 g of Ba(NO₃)₂ and 68,39 g of CuSO₄

4. 60,32 g of PbCl₂ and 72,01 g of KI

5. 81,63 g of Na₂S and 140,6 g of CuCl₂

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The reaction is:

2 AlCl₃ + 3 Ca(OH)₂ → 2 Al(OH)₃ + 3 CaCl₂

The insoluble product is Al(OH)₃. To produce 100,0 g you need to add:

100,0 g ×
`(1 mol)/(78 g)` = 1,282 moles of Al(OH)₃.

Thus, the grams of AlCl₃ and Ca(OH)₂ you need are:

1,282 moles of Al(OH)₃ ×
`(2 AlCl_3 moles)/(2 Al(OH)_3 moles)` = 1,282 moles of AlCl₃ ×
`(133,34 g)/(1 mol)` = 170,9 g of AlCl₃

1,282 moles of Al(OH)₃ ×
`(3 Ca(OH)_2 moles)/(2 Al(OH)_3 moles)` = 1,923 moles of Ca(OH)₂ ×
`(74,093 g)/(1 mol)` = 142,5 g of Ca(OH)₂

2. The reaction is:

2 HgO + → 2 Hg + O₂

The insoluble product is Hg. To produce 100,0 g you need to add:

100,0 g ×
`(1 mol)/(200,59 g)` = 0,4985 moles of Hg.

Thus, the grams of HgO you need are:

0,4985 moles of Hg ×
`(2 HgO moles)/(2 Hg moles)` = 0,4985 moles of HgO ×
`(216,59 g)/(1 mol)` = 108,0 g of HgO

3. The reaction is:

Ba(NO₃)₂ + CuSO₄ → BaSO₄ + Cu(NO₃)₂

The insoluble product is BaSO₄. To produce 100,0 g you need to add:

100,0 g ×
`(1 mol)/(233,38 g)` = 0,4285 moles of BaSO₄.

Thus, the grams of Ba(NO₃)₂ and CuSO₄ you need are:

0,4285 moles of BaSO₄ ×
`(1 Ba(NO_(3))_2 moles)/(1 BaSO₄ moles)` = 0,4285 moles of Ba(NO₃)₂ ×
`(261,337 g)/(1 mol)` = 112,0 g of Ba(NO₃)₂

0,4285 moles of BaSO₄ ×
`(1 CuSO_4 moles)/(1 BaSO_4 moles)` = 0,4285 moles of CuSO₄ ×
`(159,609 g)/(1 mol)` = 68,39 g of CuSO₄

4. The reaction is:

PbCl₂ + 2 KI → PbI₂ + 2 KCl

The insoluble product is PbI₂. To produce 100,0 g you need to add:

100,0 g ×
`(1 mol)/(461,01 g)` = 0,2169 moles of PbI₂.

Thus, the grams of PbCl₂ and KI you need are:

0,2169 moles of PbI₂ ×
`(1 PbCl_2 moles)/(1 PbI_2 moles)` = 0,2169 moles of PbCl₂ ×
`(278,1 g)/(1 mol)` = 60,32 g of PbCl₂

0,2169 moles of PbI₂ ×
`(2 KI moles)/(1 PbI_2 moles)` = 0,4338 moles of KI ×
`(166,0028 g)/(1 mol)` = 72,01 g of KI

5. The reaction is:

Na₂S + CuCl₂ → CuS + 2 NaCl

The insoluble product is CuS. To produce 100,0 g you need to add:

100,0 g ×
`(1 mol)/(95,611 g)` = 1,046 moles of CuS.

Thus, the grams of Na₂S and CuCl₂ you need are:

1,046 moles of CuS ×
`(1 Na_(2)S moles)/(1 CuS moles)` = 1,046 moles of Na₂S ×
`(78,0452 g)/(1 mol)` = 81,63 g of Na₂S

1,046 moles of CuS ×
`(1 CuCl_2 moles)/(1 CuS moles)` = 1,046 moles of CuCl₂ ×
`(134,45 g)/(1 mol)` = 140,6 g of CuCl₂

I hope it helps!
