7 Aluminium, Al reacts with sulphuric acid, H2SO4 according the following equation:
2Al(s) + 3H2SO4(aq) → Al2(SO4)3(s) + 3H2(g)
If 20.0 g of aluminium is put into a solution containing 115.0 g of H2SO4.
(a) Determine the limiting reactant in the reaction
(b) Calculate the mass of Al2(SO4)3 remained at the end of the reaction

8. In an experiment, a sample of impure zinc weighing 0.198 g is allowed to react

with an excess of nitric acid, HNO 3 to produce zinc nitrate solution an hydrogen
gas as equation below:
Zn(s) + 2HNO3(aq) → Zn(NO3)2(aq) + H2(g)
Assume that only pure zinc is completely reacted with nitric acid, calculate the
percentage of pure zinc if 5.46 X 10-3 g of hydrogen gas is produced.
