Question

Cryolite, Na 3 AlF 6 ( s ) , Na3AlF6(s), an ore used in the production of aluminum, can be synthesized using aluminum oxide. Balance the equation for the synthesis of cryolite. equation: Al 2 O 3 ( s ) + NaOH ( l ) + HF ( g ) ⟶ Na 3 AlF 6 + H 2 O ( g ) Al2O3(s)+NaOH(l)+HF(g)⟶Na3AlF6+H2O(g) If 17.3 kg of Al 2 O 3 ( s ) , 17.3 kg of Al2O3(s), 52.4 kg of NaOH ( l ) , 52.4 kg of NaOH(l), and 52.4 kg of HF ( g ) 52.4 kg of HF(g) react completely, how many kilograms of cryolite will be produced?

Answer 1

The mass of cryolite will be produced = 71247 g or, 71.247 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the synthesis of cryolite

Al₂O₃(s) + 6 NaOH(l) + 12 HF(g) → 2 Na₃AlF₆ + 9 H₂O(g)
