If 3.0 grams of aluminum and 6.0 grams of bromine react to form albr3, how many grams of product would theoretically be produced? how many grams of each reagent would remain at the end of this reaction? what mass (in grams) of product would be collected if the reaction above3 proceeded in 72% yield?

1) Chemical reaction: 2Al + 3Br₂ → 2AlBr₃.
m(Al) = 3,0 g.
m(Br₂) = 6,0 g.
n(Al) = m(Al) ÷ M(Al).
n(Al) = 3,0 g ÷ 27 g/mol.
n(Al) = 0,11 mol.
n(Br₂) = n(Br₂) ÷ m(Br₂).
n(Br₂) = 6 g ÷ 160 g/mol.
n(Br₂) = 0,0375 mol; limiting reagens.
n(Br₂) : n(AlBr₃) = 3 : 2.
n(AlBr₃) = 0,025 mol.
m(AlBr₃) = 0,025 mol · 266,7 g/mol.
m(AlBr₃) = 6,67 g.

2) m(Br₂) - all bromine reacts, so mass of bromine after reaction is zero grams (m(Br₂) = 0 g).
n(Al) = 0,11 mol - 0,025 mol = 0,085 mol.
m(Al) = 0,085 mol · 27 g/mol.
m(Al) = 2,295 g.
m(AlBr₃) = 6,67 g · 0,72 (yield of reaction).
m(AlBr₃) = 4,8 g.
n - amount of substance.
M - molar mass.
