The following reaction shows the products when sulfuric acid and aluminum hydroxide react. al(oh)3 + h2so4 → al2(so4)3 + h2o the table shows the calculated amounts of reactants and products when the reaction was conducted in a laboratory. sulfuric acid aluminum hydroxide initial amount of reactant 40 g 15 g theoretical yield of water from reactant 14.69 g 10.38 g what is the approximate amount of the leftover reactant? 11.73 g of sulfuric acid 10.33 g of sulfuric acid 11.12 g of aluminum hydroxide 13.67 g of aluminum hydroxide

The correct answer is approximately 11.73 grams of sulfuric acid.

The theoretical yield of water from Al(OH)3 is lower than that of H₂SO₄. As a consequence, Al(OH)3 is the limiting reactant, H₂SO₄ is in excess.

The balanced equation is:

2Al(OH)₃ + 3H₂SO₄ ⇒ Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6H₂O

Each mole of Al(OH)3 corresponds to 3/2 moles of H₂SO₄. The molecular mass of Al(OH)3 is 78.003 g/mol. There are 15/78.003 = 0.19230 moles of Al(OH)3 in the five grams of Al(OH)3 available. Al(OH)3 is in limiting, which means that all 0.19230 moles will be consumed. Accordingly, 0.19230 × 3/2 = 0.28845 moles of H₂SO₄ will be consumed.

The molar mass of H₂SO₄ is 98.706 g/mol. The mass of 0.28845 moles of H₂SO₄ is 0.28845 × 98.706 = 28.289 g

40 grams of sulfuric acid is available, out of which 28.289 grams is consumed. The remaining 40-28.289 = 11.711 g is in excess, which is closest to the first option, that is, 11.73 grams of H₂SO₄.
