How many grams of aluminum is produced when 82.4 grams of aluminum chloride decomposes into chlorine gas and aluminum metal?
2AICI: - 2 Al + 3C12

16.6 g of Al are produced in the reaction of 82.4 g of AlCl₃

Explanation:

Let's see the decomposition reaction:

2AlCl₃ →  2Al  + 3Cl₂

2 moles of aluminum chloride decompose to 2 moles of solid Al and 3 moles of chlorine gas.

We determine the moles of salt:

82.4 g . 1mol/ 133.34g = 0.618 moles

Ratio is 2:2. 2 moles of salt, can produce 2 moles of Al

Then, 0.618 moles of salt must produce 0.618 moles of Al.

Let's convert the moles to mass → 0.618 mol . 26.98g /mol = 16.6 g

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.

its first and third is your answer i did the qustion the fourth isnt right
