Reading a Periodic TableUsing Dimensional AnalysisExplanation:

Step 1: Define

[RxN] 2AlF₃ + 3K₂O → 6KF + Al₂O₃

[Given] 15.524 g KF

Step 2: Identify Conversions

[RxN] 6 mol KF = 2 mol AlF₃

Molar Mass of K - 39.10 g/mol

Molar Mass of F - 19.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of Al - 26.98 g/mol

Molar Mass of KF - 39.10 + 19.00 = 58.1 g/mol

Molar Mass of AlF₃ - 26.98 + 3(19.00) = 83.98 g/mol

Step 3: Stoichiometry

Set up:                              Multiply/Divide:                                                                                                  

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 5 sig figs.

7.47966 g AlF₃ ≈ 7.4797 g AlF₃

If it releases 5 tons a day and there are 7 days a take that answer and multiply by 5 percent (0.05) to find the amount released in one week. leave a comment if you need more .
