A student is given a sample of CuSO4(s) that contains a solid impurity that is soluble and colorless. The student wants to determine the amount of CuSO4 in the sample and decides to use a spectrophotometer. First, the student prepares a calibration graph by measuring the absorbances of CuSO4(aq) solutions of known concentrations. The graph is shown below. (a) The student dissolves the entire impure sample of CuSO4(s) in enough distilled water to make 100.mL of solution. Then the student measures the absorbance of the solution and observes that it is 0.30. Determine the concentration of CuSO4(aq) in the solution.

as given the equation is

2al + 6 hcl > 2 alcl3 + 3 h2(g)

as per equation two moles of aluminum reacts with six moles of hcl to give two moles of alcl3 and three moles of hydrogen gas

given: three moles of al are present and 7 moles of hcl

for three moles of aluminum nine moles of hcl will be required

however as 7 moles of hcl are present so the limiting reagent is hcl

hcl is going to decide the number of moles of product formed

when six moles of hcl are present = 3 moles of h2 are formed

when one mole of hcl is present == 3/6 mole sof h2 will be formed

when 7 moles of hcl are present = 3 x 7/ 6 moles of h2 will be formed = 3.5 moles of h2
