Cryolite, Na3AlF6(s),Na3AlF6(s), an ore used in the production of aluminum, can be synthesized using aluminum oxide.Balance the equation for the synthesis of cryolite.

Al2O3+ NaOH+ HF --> Na3AlF6+ H2O

If 16.5 kg of Al2O3(s),16.5 kg of Al2O3(s), 60.4 kg of NaOH(l),60.4 kg of NaOH(l), and 60.4 kg of HF(g)60.4 kg of HF(g) react completely, how many kilograms of cryolite will be produced?

Which reactants will be in excess?
HF
NaOH
Al2O3
 
What is the total mass of the excess reactants left over after the reaction is complete?
Expert Solution
Step 1) Balance Equation

     Al2O3+ NaOH+ HF --> Na3AlF6+ H2O

** Balance Equation :-

1Al2O3+ 6NaOH+ 12HF --> 2Na3AlF6+ 9H2O

molar mass:-

 101.96      39.997     20.01       209.94

  g/mol       g/mol       g/mol       g/mol

Given mass:-

 16.5 kg     60.4 kg    60.4 kg
