Question
  1. One step in the isolation of pure rhodium metal (Rh) is the precipitation of rhodium(III) hydroxide from a solution containing rhodium(III) sulfate according to the following unbalanced chemical equation:

Rh2(SO4)3(aq) + NaOH(aq)  →  Rh(OH)3(s) + Na2SO4(aq)


If 3.10 g of rhodium(III) sulfate reacts with 5.90g of sodium hydroxide 

a. Determine the limiting reactant. 

b. Determine the excess reactant. 

c. What mass of rhodium (III) Hydroxide  may be produced 

d. Calculate the percent yield if 1.3 g of rhodium (III) Hydroxideare actually obtained. 

MM of  Rh2(SO4)3(aq) = 494g/mol

MM of NaOH =  40g/mol)

MM of  Rh(OH)3(s) = 153.93g/mol
