Answer: 169.3 g of
image will be produced

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:


image

moles of
image


image

moles of
image

According to ideal gas equation:


image

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm (STP)

V = Volume of gas = 42.7 L

n = number of moles = ?

R = gas constant =
image

T =temperature =
image (at STP)

According to stoichiometry:

3 moles of
image reacts with = 2 moles of aluminium

Thus 1.90 moles of
imagereacts with=
image moles of aluminium

Thus
image is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product.

As 3 moles of
image give = 2 moles of
image

Thus 1.90 moles of
image give =
image of
image

Mass of
image

Thus 169.3 g of
image will be produced from the given masses of both reactants.
