Solution
The correct option is B 265.14 g Al2S3+6H2O→2Al(OH)3+3H2S
Determining moles of the reactant:
For Al2S3⇒316150=2.11 mol
For H2O⇒49318=27.39 mol
Finding limiting reagent
For Al2S3=2.111=2.11
For H2O=27.396=4.56 Al2S3 is the limiting reagent.
1 mol of Al2S3 requires 6 mol of water
2.11 mol of Al2S3 will require =6×2.11=12.66 mol
Mass of water consumed =12.66×18=227.88 g
Mass of excess reactant left =493–227.88=265.12 g
