1. Given your intended theoretical yield of 15.0 g of alum, KAl(SO4)2 12 H₂O, calculate the amount of aluminum required for the "reduced-scale" synthesis. Use this result (along with the 12.0 g Al suggested in the original procedure) to calculate the value of the scaling factor by which all reagents must be reduced. 2. From the dilution expression (M₁V₁ = M₂V2) calculate the volumes of H₂SO4 and KOH needed, given that the actual concentrations of these reagents available in lab (9.00 M H₂SO4 and 1.40 M KOH) are different from the concentrations called for in the original procedure (10.0 M H₂SO4 and 2.00 M KOH). Finally, scale the resulting volumes down by the factor calculated in (1) above. Report your volumes to the nearest ±0.1 mL.

Question

Solve question 2 using the dilution expression. 

1. Given your intended theoretical yield of 15.0 g of alum, KAI(SO4)2 12 H₂O,
calculate the amount of aluminum required for the "reduced-scale" synthesis.
Use this result (along with the 12.0 g Al suggested in the original procedure) to
calculate the value of the scaling factor by which all reagents must be reduced.
2. From the dilution expression (M₁V₁= M₂V2) calculate the volumes of H₂SO4 and
KOH needed, given that the actual concentrations of these reagents available in
lab (9.00 M H₂SO4 and 1.40 M KOH) are different from the concentrations called
for in the original procedure (10.0 M H₂SO4 and 2.00 M KOH). Finally, scale the
resulting volumes down by the factor calculated in (1) above. Report your
volumes to the nearest ±0.1 mL.
