Sulfuric acid dissolves aluminum metal according to the following reaction: 2Al(s)+3H2SO4(aq)→Al2(SO4)3(aq)+3H2 (g)2Al(s)+3H2SO4(aq)→Al2(SO4)3(aq)+ 3H2(g) Suppose you wanted to dissolve an aluminum block with a mass of 15.4 gg .

What minimum mass of H2SO4 would you need?

What mass of H2 gas would be produced by the complete reaction of the aluminum block?

83.9g of sulfuric acid is the minimum mass you would need

1.73g of hydrogen would be produced

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

2 Al(s) + 3 H₂SO₄(aq) → Al₂(SO₄)₃(aq) + 3 H₂(g)

2 moles of solid aluminium react with 3 moles of sulfuric acid. Also, two moles of Al produce 3 moles of hydrogen gas.

15.4g of Al are:

15.4g Al × (1mol / 26.98g) = 0.571 moles of Al.

Moles of sulfuric acid:

0.571 moles Al × (3 mol H₂SO₄ / 2 mol Al) = 0.8565 moles H₂SO₄

In grams:

0.8565 moles H₂SO₄ × (98g / 1mol) = 83.9g of sulfuric acid is the minimum mass you would need

In the same way, moles of hydrogen produced are:

0.571 moles Al × (3 mol H₂ / 2 mol Al) = 0.8565 moles H₂

In grams:

0.8565 moles H₂ × (2.015g / 1mol) = 1.73g of hydrogen would be produced

a) the particles of the chair are strongly held together.

hey there!

mass = 6.75 g

volume =   9 cm³

therefore:

d = mass / volume

d   = 6.75 / 9

d = 0.7 g/cm³

answer b
