Question

1. In this experiment, aluminum will be converted into potassium aluminum sulphate dodecahydrate. This process requires three reactions. Balance these three reactions.


a.)  Al (s) + KOH (aq) + HOH (l) ---> KAl(OH)4 (aq) + H2 (g)


b.) KAl (OH)4 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) --> KAl(SO4)2 (aq) + H2O (l)


c.) KAl(SO4)2 (aq) + H2O (l) ---> KAl(SO4)2  * 12H2O (s)


2. Under experimental procedures #2 and #3, the experiment calls for reacting aluminum with water and potassium hydroxide. See 1a above for the equation. A student using quantities:


3.00 grams Al

15.0 mL of 8.00 M KOH

75.0 mL distilled HOH


Which of the reactants is the limiting reactant? (Mathematically document this.) Show your work and set up.
