What is the mass of hydrogen in one mole of aluminum hydroxide?
The molar mass of hydrogen is 1.01 g/mol
The molar mass of hydrogen is 1.01 g/mol
1 Answer
Explanation:
The first thing to do here is figure out the chemical formula for aluminium hydroxide.
Aluminium is located in group
#["Al"^(3+)] + color(blue)(3)["OH"^(-)] -> "Al"("OH")_color(blue)(3)#
Now, you can figure out the mass of hydrogen present in
Since
#"1 mole Al"("OH")_ color(blue)(3) -> color(blue)(3)color(white)(a)"moles OH"^(-) -> color(blue)(3)color(white)(a)"moles H"#
The problem tells you that the molar mass of hydrogen is equal to
You can thus say that one mole of aluminium hydroxide contains
#color(blue)(3)color(red)(cancel(color(black)("moles H"))) * "1.01 g"/(1color(red)(cancel(color(black)("mole H")))) = color(green)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)("3.03 g H")color(white)(a/a)|)))#
I'll leave the answer rounded to three sig figs.
