Stoichiometry Worksheet 2 W 322

1) Write a balanced equation for the reaction of sulfuric acid with gallium
hydroxide to form water and gallium sulfate:

3H2SO4 + 2GaOH3Ga2(SO4)2 + 6H2O

2) From the equation in part 1, determine the mass of gallium sulfate that
can be made with 145 grams of sulfuric acid and 320 grams of gallium
hydroxide.

n H2SO4 = 145/98 = 1,48 mol

n GaOH3 = 320/120,8 =2,65 mol

3H2SO4 + 2GaOH3Ga2(SO4)2 + 6H2O

m 1,48 2,65 - -
r 1,48 0,987 0,493 -
s - 1,663 0,493 -

m galium = n x Mr
= 0,493 x 427,6 = 210 gram

3) Which is the limiting reagent in part 2?

H2SO4

4) How much of the excess reagent will remain once the reaction is
complete?
1,663
