Chapter 16, Problem 95E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The milliliters of $\text{1}\text{.50 M}$ sodium hydroxide solution reacting with aluminum yielding $2.00\text{ L}$ of hydrogen at $\text{22}°\text{C}$ and $789\text{ torr}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Stoichiometry of the reaction comes in and plays a very important role for doing the calculation of measurable quantities. Stoichiometry is nothing but comparison of quantities of one species with the other on the basis of balanced chemical equation. The numerical value placed in from of the compounds tells about the number of moles of that compound reacting or producing in the reaction.

Precipitation of any substance in a solution occurs when the compound formed is not soluble in the solution.
