Question

How many grams are in 4.36 moles of aluminum chloride

Answer 1

Step 1

Aluminum chloride has the next chemical formula:

`AlCl_3`

--------------------

Step 2

The number of moles (n) is calculated as follows:

`n\text{ = }\frac{massofAlCl_3}{Molar\text{ mass of AlCl}_3}\text{ \lparen1\rparen}`

-------------------

Step 3

Information provided:

4.36 moles of AlCl3

---------------

Information needed:

The molar mass of AlCl3 = 133 g/mol

-------------------

Step 4

The mass is found from (1):

n x molar mass of AlCl3 = mass of AlCl3

4.36 moles x 133 g/mol = 580 g approx.

Answer: 580 g of AlCl3
