Question

Solve the problem using the equation:

2AI + 3S --> Al2S3
▸
How many moles of Al2S3 can be
produced from 12 moles of Al?

Answer 1

The answer is 6 moles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of Al2S3 that can be produced from 12 moles of Al, we need to determine the amount of S that is required:

12 moles Al / 2 moles Al per mole Al2S3 = 6 moles Al2S3

3 moles S per mole Al2S3 * 6 moles Al2S3 = 18 moles S

Since 12 moles of Al are available, the maximum amount of Al2S3 that can be produced is 6 moles.
