ASSIGNMENT# 2 Solutions

The document provides solutions to two chemistry problems. The first problem calculates the mass percent of each element (aluminum, sulfur, oxygen) in aluminum sulfate (Al2(SO4)3). The mass percent of aluminum is 15.77%, sulfur is 28.11%, and oxygen is 56.12%. The second problem calculates the volume of 0.470 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) needed to produce 1.50 g of zinc chloride (ZnCl2) based on the given reaction of zinc and HCl. The calculated volume of HCl is 46.8 mL.

ASSIGNMENT #2 (Solutions)

1. Determine the mass percent of each element in Al_2(SO_4)_3 Aluminum Sulfate.

Given:
Aluminum= 26.98
Sulfur= 32.06
Oxygen= 16.00

Calculation:

2 Al Atoms
Mass of 2 Al atoms = x 26.98ų = 53.96ų
1 Al atom

3 S Atoms
Mass of 3 S atoms = x 32.06ų = 96.18ų
1 S atom

12O Atoms
Mass of 12 O atoms = x 16.00 ų = 192.0ų
1 O atom

Mass of 1 Al₂(SO₄)_3 formula unit = (53.96 + 96.18 + 192.0)u = 342.1 u = Total mass

Calculation of Percent Composition of Al₂(SO₄)_3

Formula:
mass of component
% by mass = x 100
total mass

mass of Al 53.96u
% of Al = x 100 = x 100 = 15.77 %
total mass 342.14

mass of S 96.18 u
% of S = x 100 = x 100 = 28.11 %
total mass 342.14
mass of O 192.0u
% of O = x 100 = x 100 = 56.12 %
total mass 342.14

FINAL ANSWER:

1. Aluminum = 15.77%
2. Sulfur = 28.11%
3. Oxygen = 56.12%

2. What volume of a 0.470M HCl reacted with enough Zn metal to produce 1.50 g
ZnCl_2 based on the following reaction?

Zn(s) + 2 HCl (aq) ZnCl_2 (aq) +H_2 (g)

Molar Mass of ZnCl_2= 136.29 g/mol

1mol
mol ZnCl_2 = 1.50g ZnCl_2 (
136.29 ZnC l 2
) = 0.110 mol ZnCL_2

2m ol HCl
mol HCl = 0.110 mol ZnCl_2 (
1mol ZnCl2 =
) 0.0220 mol HCl

0.0220 mol HCl


V_HCl = ( 0.470 mol
) = 0.0468 L = 46.8 L
