Sulfuric acid dissolves aluminum metal according to the reaction:
2 Al(s) + 3 H2SO4(aq) → Al2(SO4)3(aq) + 3 H2(g)
Suppose you want to dissolve an aluminum block with a mass of 11.3 g. What minimum mass of H2SO4 (in g) do you need? What mass of H2 gas (in g) does the complete reaction of the aluminum block produce?

Calculate the moles of aluminum (Al) using its molar mass: \( \text{Molar mass of Al} = 26.98 \, \text{g/mol} \). Use the formula: \( \text{moles of Al} = \frac{\text{mass of Al}}{\text{molar mass of Al}} \).
Use the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation to find the moles of \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \) needed. According to the equation, 2 moles of Al react with 3 moles of \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \).
Calculate the mass of \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \) required using its molar mass: \( \text{Molar mass of H}_2\text{SO}_4 = 98.08 \, \text{g/mol} \). Use the formula: \( \text{mass of H}_2\text{SO}_4 = \text{moles of H}_2\text{SO}_4 \times \text{molar mass of H}_2\text{SO}_4} \).
Determine the moles of \( \text{H}_2 \) gas produced using the stoichiometry of the reaction. From the balanced equation, 2 moles of Al produce 3 moles of \( \text{H}_2 \).
Calculate the mass of \( \text{H}_2 \) gas using its molar mass: \( \text{Molar mass of H}_2 = 2.02 \, \text{g/mol} \). Use the formula: \( \text{mass of H}_2 = \text{moles of H}_2 \times \text{molar mass of H}_2} \).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry is the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions based on the balanced chemical equation. It allows us to determine the proportions of substances involved in a reaction. In this case, the stoichiometric coefficients from the balanced equation indicate the molar ratios of aluminum to sulfuric acid and hydrogen gas, which are essential for calculating the required mass of sulfuric acid and the mass of hydrogen produced.

Stoichiometry Concept

Molar Mass

Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, typically expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). It is crucial for converting between the mass of a substance and the number of moles, which is necessary for stoichiometric calculations. For aluminum (Al) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4), knowing their molar masses allows us to calculate how much sulfuric acid is needed to react with a given mass of aluminum.

Gas Laws

Gas laws describe the behavior of gases under various conditions of temperature and pressure. In this context, the production of hydrogen gas (H2) from the reaction can be analyzed using the ideal gas law if needed. Understanding gas laws helps in predicting the volume of gas produced and its behavior, although in this case, we focus on the mass of hydrogen generated from the stoichiometric calculations.
