Question

Theoretical yield

Determine the theoretical yield of H2S (in moles) if 4.0 molAl2S3 and 4.0 mol H2O are reacted according to the followingbalanced reaction. A possibly useful molarmass is Al2S3 =150.17Al2S3(s)+6H2O(l)-->2Al(OH)3(s)+3H2S(g)

Answer #1
Because for every mole of Al2S3 that reactsyou need 6 moles H2O, you know that H2O isthe limiting reactant (there aren't even 6 moles). Next, takethe moles of H2O, and multiply that by the ratio ofmoles between H2O and H2S, according to theequation (, use the coefficients). And thatwill give you the theoretical yield of H2S in moles.
