The following reaction shows the products when sulfuric acid and aluminum hydroxide react.

2Al(OH)3 + 3H2SO4 → Al2(SO4)3 + 6H2O

The table shows the calculated amounts of reactants and products when the reaction was conducted in a laboratory. (see table)

What is the approximate amount of the leftover reactant?

There will remain 11.47 grams of Al(OH)3

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of sulfuric acid = 35.0 grams

Molar mass sulfuric acid = 98.08 g/mol

Mass of aluminium hydroxide = 30.0 grams

Molar mass of aluminium hydroxide = 78.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2Al(OH)3 + 3H2SO4 → Al2(SO4)3 + 6H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles Al(OH)3 = 30.0 grams / 78.0 g/mol

Moles Al(OH)3 = 0.385 moles

Moles H2SO4 = 35.0 grams / 98.08 g/mol

Moles H2SO4 = 0.357 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles Al(OH)3 we need 3 moles H2SO4 to produce 1 mol Al(SO4)3 and 6 moles H20

H2SO4 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.357 moles). Al(OH)3 is in excess. There will be react 2/3 * 0.357 = 0.238 moles

There will remain 0.385 - 0.238 = 0.147 moles

Mass of Al(OH)3 remaining = 0.147 moles* 78.0 g/mol = 11.47 grams

There will remain 11.47 grams of Al(OH)3

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?
