Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 108 grams of HCl form 131.70 grams of AlCl₃.
Reaction stoichiometry
In first place, the balanced reaction is:
2 Al + 6 HCl → 2 AlCl₃ + 3 H₂
By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:
- Al: 2 moles
- HCl: 6 moles
- AlCl₃: 2 moles
- H₂: 3 moles
The molar mass of the compounds is:
- Al: 27 g/mole
- HCl: 36.45 g/mole
- AlCl₃: 133.35 g/mole
- H₂: 2 g/mole
Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:
- Al: 2 moles ×27 g/mole= 54 grams
- HCl: 6 moles ×36.45 g/mole= 218.7 grams
- AlCl₃: 2 moles ×133.35 g/mole= 266.7 grams
- H₂: 3 moles ×2 g/mole= 6 grams
Mass of AlCl₃ formed
The following rule of three can be applied: if by reaction stoichiometry 218.7 grams of HCl form 266.7 grams of AlCl₃, 108 grams of HCl form how much mass of AlCl₃?
[tex]mass of AlCl_{3} =\frac{108 grams of HClx266.7 grams of AlCl_{3}}{218.7 grams of HCl}[/tex]
mass of AlCl₃= 131.70 grams
Then, 108 grams of HCl form 131.70 grams of AlCl₃.
