Calculate the theoretical yield in grams AlI₃ from the complete reaction of 18.3 grams AI, aluminum iodide, according to the following balanced chemical equation: 2Al(s) + 3I₂(s) →2AlI₃(s)

Answer 1

2Al(s) + 3I₂(s) ==> 2AlI₃(s) ... balanced equation

Use the stoichiometry of the balanced equation along with dimensional analysis to find the theoretical yield:

18.3 g Al x 1 mol Al / 26.98 g x 2 mol AlI₃ / 2 mol Al x 408 g AlI₃/mol = 277 g AlI₃
