Question
A piece of aluminum foil 1.00 cm2 and 0.550-mm thick is allowed to react with bromine to form aluminum bromide. (a) How many moles of aluminum were used? (The density of aluminum is 2.699 g>cm3 .) (b) How many grams of aluminum bromide form, assuming the aluminum reacts completely?
Solution
The first step in solving 3 problem number 84 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A piece of aluminum foil 1.00 cm2 and 0.550-mm thick is allowed to react with bromine to form aluminum bromide. (a) How many moles of aluminum were used? (The density of aluminum is 2.699 g>cm3 .) (b) How many grams of aluminum bromide form, assuming the aluminum reacts completely?
From the textbook chapter Chemical Reactions and Reaction Stoichiometry you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
