Q2. Aluminium sulphate can be made by reacting crushed bauxite ore with Muhammad Adil Bin Safdar
sulfuric acid, according to the following equation:
Al2O3 + 3H2SO4 → Al2(SO4)3 + 3H2O
The bauxite ore contains 55.4% by weight of aluminium oxide, the remainder
being impurities. The sulfuric acid solution contains 77.7% H2SO4, the rest
being water.

To produce crude aluminum sulfate containing 1798 Ib of pure aluminum

sulfate, 1080 lb of bauxite ore and 2510 Ib of sulfuric acid solution are used.
Execute the following calculations:

(a) Identify the excess reactant.

(b) What percentage of the excess reactant was consumed?
(c) What was the degree of completion of the reaction?
