What should I fill in the blank?
Determine the mass in grams of HCl that can react with 0.750 g of Al(OH)3 according to the following reaction:
Al(OH)3(s) + 3HCl(aq) → AlCl3(aq) + 3H2O(aq)
Starting Amount
Al(OH)3: 0.750 g
Molar Mass
Al(OH)3: 78.00 g/mol
HCl: 36.46 g/mol
H2O: 18.02 g/mol
Molar Ratios
1 mol Al(OH)3 : 3 mol HCl
1 mol HCl : 3 mol H2O
Calculations:
Step 1: Convert grams of Al(OH)3 to moles
0.750 g Al(OH)3 × (1 mol Al(OH)3 / 78.00 g Al(OH)3) = 0.00961 mol Al(OH)3
Step 2: Use the mole ratio to find moles of HCl
0.00961 mol Al(OH)3 × (3 mol HCl / 1 mol Al(OH)3) = 0.0288 mol HCl
Step 3: Convert moles of HCl to grams
0.0288 mol HCl × (36.46 g HCl / 1 mol HCl) = 1.05 g HCl
