Question
the number of moles of Aluminum in 1.3741 g was calculated to be 0.051 moles and that the chemistry student weighed out.  For every mole of Aluminum that you start with, you can create one mole of Alum [KAl(SO4)2 ⋅12 H2O(s)].  What is the theoretical yield before drying the Alum precipitate?  
Expert Solution
Step 1

The molar ratio between aluminum and alum is 1:1, meaning that one mole of aluminum should theoretically produce one mole of alum. Therefore, if we have 0.051 moles of aluminum, the theoretical yield of alum that can be produced is also 0.051 moles.
