Find the mass of alcl3 that is produced when 10. 0 grams of al2o3 react with 10. 0 g of hcl according to the following equation. Al2o3(s) + 6hcl(aq) → 2alcl3(aq) + 3h2o(aq)

The balanced reaction

Al₂O₃ (s) + 6 HCl (aq)   →   2 AlCl₃ (aq) + 3 H₂O (aq)

says that 1 mol Al₂O₃ reacts with 6 mol HCl to produce 2 mol AlCl₃.

We start with

• (10.0 g Al₂O₃) (1/101.96 mol/g) ≈ 0.0981 mol Al₂O₃

• (10.0 g HCl) (1/36.46 mol/g) ≈ 0.274 mol HCl

We can use up to

(0.274 mol HCl) (1 mol Al₂O₃ / 6 mol HCl) ≈ 0.0457 mol Al₂O₃

and consume all the HCl in the process (while also leaving an excess of about 0.0524 mol Al₂O₃) to produce approximately

2 (0.0457 mol Al₂O₃) (2 mol AlCl₃ / 1 mol Al₂O₃) ≈ 0.183 mol AlCl₃

This has a mass of about

(0.183 mol AlCl₃) (133.3 g/mol) ≈ 24.4 g AlCl₃

with such great emphasis put on the act and sat exams—the studying, the review sessions, taking the test, retaking the test, scholarships dependent on scores, etc.—many think the scores are the be all end all of college applications. if you have a high score, you can get into any college you want. if you have a low score, you’re doomed.
