A 5.34 g sample of an aluminum alloy is reacted with hydrochloric acid to produce aluminum chloride and hydrogen gas. At a temperature of 298 Kelvin and a pressure of 1.03 atm, a volume of 1.53 L of hydrogen gas is collected. Assuming that the hydrochloric acid only reacts with the aluminum in the sample, what is the percent of aluminum in the alloy sample?

    Option 5. 21.7 %

    Explanation:

    Let's think the reaction:

    2Al (s) + 6HCl (l) → 3H₂ (g) + AlCl₃ (aq)

    We have the data of hydrogen, we formed so let's apply the Ideal Gases Law equation to solve the amount of gas.

    P. V = n. R. T

    1.03 atm. 1.53L = n. 0.082 L. atm. 298K

    (1.03 atm. 1.53L) / (0.082 L. atm. 298K) = n → 0.0645 moles of H₂

    In the reaction, 3 moles of H₂ are produced by 2 moles of Al. Let's determine, how many moles of Al produced, the 0.0645 moles of H₂.

    3 moles of H₂ were produced by 2 moles of Al

    Then, 0.0645 moles of H₂ would be produced by (0.0645.2) / 3 = 0.043 moles.

    If we convert the moles to mass, we can know the mass of Al in the alloy. (mol. molar mass)

    0.043 m. 26.98 g/mol = 1.16 g

    As the sample had a mass of 5.34 g, let's determine the % of Al.

    (1.16 g / 5.34 g). 100 = 21.7%
