What's the actual question?
Here is the complete molecular equation:
Al2(SO3)3 + 6NaOH ==> 2Al(OH)3 + 3Na2SO3
Limiting reactant?
10.0 g Al2(SO3)3 x 1 mol Al2(SO3)3 / 150. g = 0.0667 moles (÷1 -> 0.0667)
10.0 g NaOH x 1 mol NaOH / 40 g = 0.25 moles (÷6 -> 0.0417) THUS, NaOH IS LIMITING
How much Al(OH)3 is formed?
0.25 mol NaOH x 2 mol Al(OH)3 / 6 mol NaOH = 0.083 mole Al(OH)3 (to find mass multiply by molar mass)
How much Na2SO3 is formed?
0.25 mol NaOH x 3 mol Na2SO3 / 6 mol NaOH = 0.125 mol Na2SO3 (to find mass multiply by molar mass)
