5 moles of Al2O3 are reacted with 10 moles H2SO4, how many moles of Al2(SO4)3 will produce?
A. 3.33
B. 10
C. 30
D. 33.3
I got this question during a job interview.
The query is from Stoichiometry Applications Terminology in chapter The Chemical Reaction Equation & Stoichometry, Material Balances for Processes Involving Reaction and Multiple Units of Basic Chemical Engineering
Correct option is A. 3.33
Explanation: The balanced chemical reaction is Al2O3 + 3H2SO4 -> Al2(SO4)3 + 3H2O, => moles of Al2(SO4)3 = 10/3 = 3.33.
