Predict the precipitate that forms when aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and potassium chloride


Asked by maham237 @ in Chemistry viewed by 344 People


react to form products in a double-replacement reaction. Include a discussion of how to write the complete chemical equation describing this reaction.
2. A 500-g sample of Al2(SO4)3 is reacted with 450 g of Ca(OH)2. A total of 596 g of CaSO4 is produced. What is the limiting reagent in this reaction, and how many moles of excess reagent are unreacted?

Al2(SO4)3(aq)+3Ca(OH)2(aq)--->2Al(OH)3(s)+3CaSO4(s)

Show all work please.

Its quite alot of work, but here it is....
1. Silver Nitrate: AgNO3 (aq)
Potassium Chloride: KCl
To do a double replacement reaction, switch the two metals around, in this case Silver and Potassium so you are left with:
Potassium Nitrate: KNO3
Silver Chloride: AgCl
The chemical equation should be something like this:
AgNO3 (aq) + KCl => KNO3 + AgCl

2The chemical reaction is as follows:Al2(SO4)3 + 3Ca(OH)2 → 3CaSO4 + 2Al(OH)3 Explanation:1mol of Al2(SO4)3 will react with 3mol Ca(OH)2 to produce 3mol CaSO4 and 2 mol Al(OH)3.First we have to find the number of moles of Al2(SO4)3 :Number of moles = Mass/ Molar massMass of Al2(SO4)3 = 500gMolar mass of Al2(SO4)3 = 342.15 g/molNumber of moles = 500/342.15Number of moles = 1.461 mol Al2(SO4)3Multiplying the coeffecient of Ca(OH)2 with 1.461:= 3*1.461 = 4.383 mol Ca(OH)2 Now we have to find the number of moles of Ca(OH)2:Mass of Ca(OH)2 = 450gMolar mass of Ca(OH)2 = 74.09 g/mol Number of moles = 450/74.09Number of moles = 6.074 mol Ca(OH)2We need 4.383mol to react completely with the Al2(SO4)3, so the Ca(OH)2 is in excess, and the Al2(SO4)3 is the limiting reactant. Excess unreacted: 6.074-4.383 = 1.69mol Ca(OH)2 unreacted
