Astudent performs a titration analysis for the following balanced reaction: 3 h2so4 + 2 al(oh)3 → al2(so4)3 + 6 h2o if a 200.0g sample of al(oh)3 is used to react with excess h2so4, how many grams of aluminum sulfate are produced? a 157g b 630g c 1750g d 438g

The correct answer is 438g according to the following workings.

mole ratio of Aluminium hydroxide to aluminium sulphate= 2:1
number of moles in 200g of aluminium hydroxide             = 200÷78
                                                                                           =2.564 moles
number of moles of Al2(SO4) produced by 200g of Al(OH)3=1.282
mass of Al2(SO4) produced = 342×1.282
                                             = 438g

D. 438g
   Looking at the balanced reaction, for every 2 moles of Al(OH)3 consumed, 1 mole of Al2(SO4)3 is produced. So let's start by calculating the molar mass of the reactant and product.
 Atomic weight aluminum = 26.981539
 Atomic weight sulfur = 32.065
  Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999
 Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794

   Molar mass Al(OH)3 = 26.981539 + (15.999 + 1.00794)*3 = 78.002359 g/mol
 Molar mass Al2(SO4)3 = 26.981539 * 2 + (32.065 + 15.999*4)*3 = 342.146078 g/mol

   Moles Al(OH)3 = 200.0 g / 78.002359 g/mol = 2.564025019 mol
 Moles Al2(SO4)3 = 2.564025019 mol / 2 = 1.282012509 mol

   Grams Al2(SO4)3 = 1.282012509 mol * 342.146078 g/mol = 438.635552 g
   And the closest answer is "D. 438g"
