Question

What mass of aluminium chloride can be obtained when 0.48mols of aluminium is completely reacted with dilute hydrochloric acid?

Equation for this reaction:
2Al + 6HCl 2AlCl3 + 3H2​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

we will do ratio method

Aluminum chloride : Aluminum

2 : 2

0.48 : x

(cross multiply)

0.48 x 2 / 2 = 0.48 moles of aluminum

mass = 1 mole of aluminum chloride x moles

mass = 133.33 x 0.48

mass = 63.9984g (round off) = 64g

I hope this helps.
