Consider the series of reactions to synthesize the alum (KAl(SO4 )2 · xH2O(s)) from the introduction.
(a) Assuming an excess of the other reagents, from one mole of aluminum Al (s), how many moles of alum will be produced?
(b) Assuming an excess of the other reagents, from one mole of potassium hydroxide KOH, how many moles of alum will be produced?
(c) Assuming an excess of the other reagents, from one mole of sulfuric acid H2SO4 , how many moles of alum will be produced?
(d) If you start the synthesis with 1.00 g of Al, 40.0 mL of 1.50 M KOH, and 20.0 mL of 9.00 M H2SO4 , which of the three will be the limiting reagent?
(e) Assuming that the product is anhydrous (that there are no waters of hydration), calculate the theoretical yield of alum, in grams, based on the amounts of reagents in part
(d). 3. Consider the nickel salt: (NH4 )2Ni(SO4 )2 ·y H2O (Ammonium Nickel Sulfate Hydrate), where y is the number of coordinated waters.
(a) Assuming that the product is anhydrous (y = 0), what is the theoretical yield of ammonium nickel sulfate from 1.500 g of Ni (s)?
(b) The actual yield of product was 9.640 g - obviously containing coordinated water. The product was then heated strongly until all the water had been driven off. The resulting anhydrous salt had mass 7.000 g. What is the value of y?
(c) Based on the mass of the anhydrous product (7.000 g), what is the % yield of the reaction?

The equation for this reaction is: H2O + NaCl + NH3 + CO2 -> NH4Cl + NaHCO3 In the next step, sodium bicarbonate is heated to give sodium carbonate and two gases, carbon dioxide and steam. 2NaHCO3 -> Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O 1. What is the theoretical yield of sodium carbonate, expressed in grams, if 164 g of NaCl were used in the first reaction? 2. If 77.9 g of Na2CO3 was obtained, what was the percentage yield?arrow_forward
- Now the student wants to test the decanoate from question 5 for the presence of the remaining cation. She adds 6M HNO3 to the decanoate until it is acidic. What is the color of the precipitate? Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurred. To summarize the student’s results, which of the Group I cations can the student conclude are present in UK #1? * here is question 5 with the answer * Now the student wants to test the precipitate from the G1-2 step (question 3) for the two remaining cations. In the G1-3 step, she adds 6M NH3 to the precipitate, stirs and centrifuges. The clear supernatant is decanted into a new test tube. Which of the chloride salts of the Group I cations dissolves in aqueous NH3? Write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction.
