5. A 1.1181-g sample of an alloy (a mixture) of aluminum and magnesium was treated with an excess of sodium hydroxide solution. In the reaction, only the aluminum reacts with the sodium
hydroxide solution:
2 Al + 2 NaOH + 6 H202 Na[Al(OH)4] + 3 H2
If 0.1068 g of H2 is produced, what is the mass percent of aluminum in the alloy?

Answer : The mass percent of Al in the alloy is 85.9 %.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of sample of an alloy  = 1.1181 g

Mass of = 0.1068 g

Molar mass of = 2 g/mol

Molar mass of = 27 g/mol

First we have to calculate the moles of .

Now we have to calculate the moles of

The balanced chemical equation is:

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 3 moles of produced from 2 moles of

So, 0.0534 mole of produced from mole of

Now we have to calculate the mass of

Now we have to calculate the mass percent of Al in the alloy.

Mass percent of Al in alloy =

Mass percent of Al in alloy =

Mass percent of Al in alloy = 85.9%

Therefore, the mass percent of Al in the alloy is 85.9 %.

hope this

explanation:

covalent bonds

consist of pairs of electrons shared by two atoms, and bind the atoms to fixed orientation and requre high energies to break them

ionic bonds

when two atoms differ considerably in their electronegativity, then one of the atoms will lose its electron to the other atom. this results in a positively charged ion(cation) and a negatively charged ion (anion)

false

because it does not have the potential to be entirely used up
