Sulfuric acid dissolves aluminum metal according to the reaction:
Suppose you want to dissolve an aluminum block with a mass of 15.2 g.
What minimum mass of (in g) do you need? What mass of gas (in g) does the complete reaction of the aluminum block produce?

Step 1
The balanced equation for the reaction between sulfuric acid an aluminum is:
Based on the balanced equation, 2 mol Al reacts with 3 mol to form 1 mol and 3 mol
Step 2
We can determine the amount of (in g) needed to dissolve 12.7 g Al by using the mole ratio their molar masses. Molar mass of . Molar mass of
Thus, 69.3 g is needed to dissolve a 12.7 g Al block
Step 3
We can determine the amount of (in g) produced from the reaction between 69.3 g and 12.7 g Al using the mole ratio and the molar mass of which is equal to
Therefore, 1.43 g is produced from the rection between 69.3 g and 12.7 g Al.
