Our required answers are:

  1. 36moles ofOatom
  2. 0.80moles ofAl3+ion
  3. role="math" localid="1652694773230" 4.5moles ofSO42-ion

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1: Given Information

We need to find moles of Oin3moles of Aluminum sulfate .

02

Part(a)  Step 2: Explanation

Using equalities and conversion factor using subscripts:

One mole of Al2(SO4)3= 12moles of O

Conversion Factor=12moleO1moleAl2(SO4)3

Moles of role="math" localid="1652693859212" Oin role="math" localid="1652693863716" 3.00moles of aluminum sulfate=12moleO1moleAl2(SO4)3×3moleAl2(SO4)3=36moleO

Hence, 36moles of Opresent in 3.00moles aluminum sulfate.

03

Part(b) Step 1: Given Information

We need to find moles of Al3+in 0.40moles of Aluminum sulfate .

04

Part(b)  Step 2: Explanation

Using equalities and conversion factor using subscripts:

One mole of Al2SO43= 2 moles of Al3+

Conversion Factor= 2moleAl3+1moleAl2SO43

Moles of Al3+ions in 0.40moles of aluminum sulfate= 2moleAl3+1moleAl2SO43×0.40moleAl2SO43=0.80moleAl3+

Hence, 0.80 moles of Al3+present in 0.40moles aluminum sulfate.

05

Part(c) Step 1: Given Information

We need to find moles of SO42-ionsin 1.5moles of Aluminum sulfate .

06

Part(c)  Step 2: Explanation

Using equalities and conversion factor using subscripts:

One mole of Al2SO43= 3 moles of role="math" localid="1652694756447" SO42-

Conversion Factor=role="math" localid="1652694763246" 3moleSO42-1moleAl2SO43

Moles of ions in moles of aluminum sulfate=role="math" localid="1652694748574" 3moleSO42-1moleAl2SO43×1.5moleAl2SO43=4.5moleSO42-

Hence, 4.5 moles of role="math" localid="1652694735665" SO42-present in 1.5moles aluminum sulfate.
