Sulfuric acid dissolves aluminum metal according to the following reaction:
2Al(s)+3H2SO4(aq)→Al2(SO4)3(aq)+3H2(g)
Suppose you wanted to dissolve an aluminum block with a mass of 15.1 g .
What minimum mass of H2SO4 would you need?
What mass of H2 gas would be produced by the complete reaction of the aluminum block?
according to the reaction
54 grams of aluminium react with 294 grams of sulphuric acid
15grams of aluminium react with------------------- ? grams of sulphuric acid
= 15*294/54
= 81.66 grams of sulphuric acid.
54 grams of aluminium react with sulphuric aicd gives ------------------------6 grams of hydrogen
15.1 grams of aluminium react with sulphuric acid gives --------------------- ?
= 15.1*6/54
= 1.67 grams of hydrogen
