Mole to mole stoichiometry problem
« on: April 10, 2021, 06:07:05 PM »
I'm having a really hard time understanding stoichiometry. The problem attached was answering "Calculate the number of moles of H2SO4 required to react with 18.79 moles of Al." and I got it wrong. Could somebody please point out what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your time.

You need 1,5 mole of H2SO4 for 1 mole of Al, not 3.

Your equation is OK.

Just use your mind and think about what happens. You need 2 mol Al for the reaction with  3 mol H2SO4
If you have 18.79 moles of Al, in this case you need [18,79 * (3/2) ] mol H2SO4
