Use this balanced equation to help you solve:
1. If 842 grams of sodium hydroxide reacts with 750.0 grams of aluminum, how many grams of aluminum hydroxide should theoretically form?
2. If only 512 grams actually form, what was the % yield? (Briefly describe the steps you would take to solve).

1. 842g of NaOH will form 547.3 g of Al(OH)₃

2. The yield is 93.55%

Explanation:

3NaOH + Al → Al(OH)₃ + 3Na

1.

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Molar mass of Al = 27 g/mol

Molar mass of Al(OH)₃ = 78 g/mol

According to the balanced equation:

3 moles of NaOH requires 1 mole of Al to form 1 mole of Al(OH)₃

The ratio of NaOH : Al : Al(OH)₃ = 3 : 1 : 1

3 X 40 g of NaOH reacts with 27 g of Al to form 78 g of Al(OH)₃

120 g of NaOH + 27g of Al → 78 g of Al(OH)₃

120g of NaOH form 78g of Al(OH)₃

1g of NaOH will form g of Al(OH)₃

842g of NaOH will form of Al(OH)₃

                                   = 547.3 g of Al(OH)₃

Therefore, 842g of NaOH will form 547.3 g of Al(OH)₃

2. Only 512 g of Al(OH)₃ is formed

Yield % = ?

Therefore, the yield is 93.55%

alfred von schlieffen, german army chief of staff, was given instructions to devise a strategy that would be able to counter a joint attack. in december, 1905, he began circulating what later became known as the schlieffen plan. schlieffen argued that if war took place it was vital that france was speedily defeated.

the answer to this question is 3.
